Question

A pilot is flying from Tampa,FL to Atlanta,GA in a V-tail Bonanza airplane. The airplane flies an average speed of 180 knots, which is 200 miles in an hour. If it is 460 miles between the two cities, how long will the pilots trip take.

Answer 1

The time taken to cover the distance from Tampa to Atlanta is 2.3 hours .

Explanation:

Given as :

The speed at which airplane flying = 200 miles per hour

The distance between Tampa to Atlanta = 460 miles

Let the time taken for fly = T hours

Now, Time =
`(\textrm Distance)/(\textrm Speed)`

So , T =
`(460)/(200)`

∴ T = 2.3 hours

Hence The time taken to cover the distance from Tampa to Atlanta is 2.3 hours . Answer
