the record for the longest migration is held by the arts tern, which flies a round trip that can be as long as 20,000 miles per year, from the arctic to the antarctic and back. if the birds flies an average of 25 miles per hour and an average of 12 hours per day, how many days would it take for a one-way flight

    It will take an arctic tern 33.33 days or 33 days and 4 hours (rounded to the next hour) to cover a one-way flight of 10,000 miles

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

    Length of a round trip flight of an arctic tern = 20,000 miles ⇒ one-way flight = 10,000 miles

    Miles per hour = 25

    Hours of flight per day = 12

    2. If the birds flies an average of 25 miles per hour and an average of 12 hours per day, how many days would it take for a one-way flight?

    Let's calculate the number of miles per day, this way:

    Miles per day = Miles per hour * Hours of flight per day

    Miles per day = 25 * 12

    Miles per day = 300

    Now we calculate the number of days to cover 10,000 miles, a one-way flight from the Arctic to the Antarctic, as follows:

    Number of days to cover 10,000 miles = 10,000/Miles per day

    Number of days to cover 10,000 miles = 10,000/300

    Number of days to cover 10,000 miles = 33.33

    It will take an arctic tern 33.33 days or 33 days and 4 hours (rounded to the next hour) to cover a one-way flight of 10,000 miles
