Next message: by way of Jane Duden Journey North: "Challenge Question # 4"
Challenge Question #4:
"The speed of a hummingbird in normal flight is about 25 mph. About how long will it take a hummingbird to fly non-stop across the Gulf of Mexico, a distance of 845 km (525 mi)?
My name is Ryan. I go to Challenger Middle School. I'm in Ms. Pfaff's 7th grade class. It would take approximately 21 hours for a humming bird to fly non-stop across the Gulf of Mexico. The way I found this out was to divide the humming birds speed into the distance of which it had to fly, and that's how I got my answer.
