A monarch butterfly covers a distance of 600 km during its migration and it takes 3 days to complete the journey. What is its average distance travelled per day?
Answer
200 km/day
The correct answer is 200 km/day — Thus the average distance per day is 200 km.
Step-by-step solution
- Identify total distance covered: 600 km.
- Identify total time taken: 3 days.
- Divide distance by time: 600 km ÷ 3 days = 200 km per day.
- Thus the average distance per day is 200 km.
Common mistake: Dividing by 2 instead of 3
Concept tested: Average speed calculation
