Identify Speed: Identify the given speed of the leatherback sea turtle.The leatherback sea turtle's speed is 21.92 mph.
Understand Relationship: Understand the relationship between distance, speed, and time. Speed is equal to distance divided by time Speed=TimeDistance.
Analyze Option A: Analyze option A: d=2.192t.Calculate the speed represented by this equation.Speed = td=t2.192t=2.192 mph.Check if this speed is less than 21.92 mph.2.192 mph is less than 21.92 mph.
Analyze Option B: Analyze option B: d=20t. Calculate the speed represented by this equation. Speed =td=t20t=20mph. Check if this speed is less than 21.92mph. 20mph is less than 21.92mph.
Analyze Option C: Analyze option C: d=22t. Calculate the speed represented by this equation. Speed =td=t22t=22mph. Check if this speed is less than 21.92mph. 22mph is not less than 21.92mph.
Analyze Option D: Analyze option D: d=30t. Calculate the speed represented by this equation. Speed =td=t30t=30mph. Check if this speed is less than 21.92mph. 30mph is not less than 21.92mph.
