A migrating bird flies 494 miles in 13 hours. how many miles does it fly in 5 hours

It is easier to solve problems like these by first taking the unit rate. In this case, we look for how many miles can the bird fly per hour. This is done by dividing the total distance by the total time.

Rate = 494 miles / 13 hours

Rate = 38 miles / hour

Multiplying this by 5 hours:

38 miles / hour * (5 hours) = 190

Therefore, the migrating bird flies 190 miles in 5 hours.
