Answer 1

The answer is c
Trust me

Answer 2

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Springbok: 880 miles/16 hours = 55 mph

Wildebeast: 950 miles/19 hours = 50 mph

• what if? 950 miles/16 hours = 59.375 mph

(59.375 - 55) = 4.375 mph difference

4.375 mi/h x 16 hours = 70 miles

EDIT

"if the wildebeest had traveled at the same rate for 16 hours" Meaning the rate would stay at 50 mph, making the difference between the two as 5 mph. 5 mph x 16 hours = 80 miles

ANSWER IS B

Hope this helps :)
