Question

What is the speed of a commercial jet which travels form New York to Los Angeles (4800) in 6 hours

Answer 1

`Speed = 800km}/hr`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

`Distance = 4800km`

`Time = 6hr`

Required

Determine the speed of the jet

The speed is calculated as:

`Speed = (Distance)/(Time)`

Substitute 4800 km for Distance and 6hr for Time

`Speed = (4800km)/(6hr)`

`Speed = 800km}/hr`

Hence, the speed of the commercial jet is 800km/hr
