Question

when flying level, a spur-winged goose flies 22 miles in $\frac{1}{4}$ hour, and an eider duck flies 14 miles in $\frac{1}{5}$ hour. which bird has a faster level-flying speed? how much faster?
choose one option from each drop-down menu to answer the questions.
a(n) choose... flies choose... miles per hour faster than a(n) choose...

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate goose's speed

Speed = distance / time, so $\frac{22}{\frac{1}{4}} = 22 \times 4 = 88$ mph

Step2: Calculate duck's speed

Speed = distance / time, so $\frac{14}{\frac{1}{5}} = 14 \times 5 = 70$ mph

Step3: Find speed difference

Subtract duck's speed from goose's: $88 - 70 = 18$ mph

Step4: Identify faster bird

Compare the two speeds: $88 > 70$

Answer:

A(n) spur-winged goose flies 18 miles per hour faster than a(n) eider duck.
