To calculate the time it would have taken for the Spain to travel to Roanoke Island, we can divide the distance by the speed at which they could travel.
- At a speed of 70 miles per day, they would have taken 540/70 = 7.714285714285714 days to arrive at Roanoke Island.
- At a speed of 100 miles per day, they would have taken 540/100 = 5.4 days to arrive at Roanoke Island.
If Spain did kidnap or kill the colonists, they would have had to travel 540 miles. If they could travel 70 miles a day, how long would it have taken them to arrive at Roanoke Island? What about 100 miles a day?
