GinnyAnswer
To estimate how far sailfish can swim in 3 hours, we can use the given speed of 68 miles per hour.

So, to calculate the distance, we multiply the speed (68 miles/hour) by the time (3 hours):

68 miles/hour * 3 hours = 204 miles

Therefore, sailfish can swim approximately 204 miles in 3 hours.

The closest option to this estimate is:
c. 180 miles

This answer provides a reasonable estimation of the distance a sailfish can swim in 3 hours based on the given speed.
C: 180 miles
This is because 68*3 = 204. You won’t want to round up so 180 is the closest one!
