Question

A pilot flies 540 miles in 2 hours. At this rate, how far can the pilot travel in 15 hours.

A)1,080 miles
B)3,375 miles
C)4,050 miles
D)16,200 miles​

Answer 1

C; In fifteen hours, the pilot can fly 4,050 miles.

Explanation:

Okay, so distance = rate*time.

To find the rate, divide the distance by time.

540/2 = 270.

So, at this rate the pilot can fly 270 miles every hour. 270*15 = 4,050.
