Question

A jet travels 420 miles in 2 hours. At this rate, how far could the jet fly in 13 hours? What is the rate of speed of the jet?

Answer 1

The jet could fly 2730 miles in 13 hours. The rate of speed of the jet is 210 miles per hour.

Explanation:

420/2=x/13

simplify 420/2 into 210

x/13=210

x=210*13

x=2730

Answer 2

420 miles in 2 hours.

If it where to fly for 13 hours then you divide 420 by 2 which is 210. Multiply 210 by 13.

=2730 miles.

The rate of speed would be 420 divided by 2. This would equal 210 miles per hour.
