Question

an airplane travels from st. Louis, Missouri to portland, Oregon in 4.33 hours. if the distance traveled is 2,742kilometers, what is the airplanes average speed for this trip

Answer 1

`speed= (d)/(t)`

Distance (d) 2,742
Time (t) 4.33


`speed= (2,742)/(4.33) =~633~km/hr`

Average speed during a period of time =

(distance covered during that time) / (time)

Average speed = (2742 km) / (4.33 hours) = 633.3 km per hour .
