Fastest to slowest can be decided using velocity of the animal.
More is the velocity, fast is the animal.
velocity = distance traveled/time taken
velocity of dolphin = 5/15 = 1/3 mile/min
velocity of stingray = 11/30 mile/min
velocity of shark = 92/240 = 23/60 mile/min (4 hr = 240 min)
It is clear that velocity of shark is greater than others.
From fastest to slowest
shark > stingray > dolphin
