A migrating bird flies 42 miles in 3 hours. How many miles does it fly in 5 hours?

70 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we are given the speed of the migrating bird. If we remember the definition of speed we will remember that speed is distance the object/body traveled, divided by the time it took the object/body to travel this distance.

Solution:

Firstly we need to find out what distance will the bird travel in 1 hour.  We can easily do that science we know the distance it travels in 3 hours. So we just use the property of a fraction that states that if we multiply or divide the denominator and the numerator by the same number we will get a fraction of the same value but written a bit differently. So we divide the numerator and the denominator by 3 and get

=

Now we know what distance the bird travels in one hour so we can easily figure how much the bird will travel in 5 hours by multiplying the numerator and the denominator by 5. So we do...

=

And we get that the bird will travel 70 miles in 5 hours.
