To determine how many miles the whale swims each day, we can divide the total distance by the number of days:
\[
\text{Miles per day} = \frac{200 \text{ miles}}{5 \text{ days}} = 40 \text{ miles per day}
\]
Now, to find out how many miles the whale will swim in 16 days, we multiply the daily distance by the number of days:
\[
\text{Total miles in 16 days} = 40 \text{ miles per day} \times 16 \text{ days} = 640 \text{ miles}
\]
Therefore, the whale will swim **640 miles** in 16 days.
\[
\text{Miles per day} = \frac{200 \text{ miles}}{5 \text{ days}} = 40 \text{ miles per day}
\]
Now, to find out how many miles the whale will swim in 16 days, we multiply the daily distance by the number of days:
\[
\text{Total miles in 16 days} = 40 \text{ miles per day} \times 16 \text{ days} = 640 \text{ miles}
\]
Therefore, the whale will swim **640 miles** in 16 days.
