Question

2. A plane travels 550 miles/hour in 4 hours. How far did the plane travel?

a. 137miles b. 2,200 miles C. 475 miles
d. 3,000 miles

Answer 1

b. 2,200 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The speed of the plane is,
`s=550\ mi/h`

Time taken by the plane is,
`t=4\ h`

Now, distance traveled by the plane is given as the product of speed of the plane and the time taken by the plane. Therefore, the distance is given as:

Distance = Speed
`*` Time taken

Distance =
`s* t`

Plug in 550 for 's' and 4 for 't'. Solve for distance.

Distance =
`(550\ mi/h)* (4\ h)=2200\ miles`

Therefore, the distance traveled by the plane traveling at 550 mi/h in 4 hours is 2,200 miles.
