The world fastest flying insect is the dragonfly. It can fly 36 miles per hour. If a dragonfly flew in a straight path at this rate, what distance would it fky in 15 minutes?

well since there are 60 minutes in an hour and 15 goes into 60 four times, you would divide 36 by 4 to get 9 miles in 15 minutes.

9 miles. 36 miles per hour,15 goes into 60=hr 4 times. So 36 divided by 4 = 9 miles =)

There are 60 minutes in an hour which means there are 4, 15 minute intervals in an hour.That being said you simply divide 36 by 4 to get the total miles traveled = 9
