To find the speed, we divide the distance by time. The fish swam 17.5 kilometers in 5 hours, so: Speed = Distance / Time = 17.5 km / 5 h = 3.5 km/h. Now, for part b, to find the time it takes to swim 28 kilometers at the same speed, we use the formula: Time = Distance / Speed. Therefore: Time = 28 km / 3.5 km/h = 8 hours. So, it will take **8 hours** for the fish to swim 28 kilometers. And there you have it, swimming while keeping time is a fishy endeavor, but this little swimmer nailed it! 🌊🐠
