Question

An airplane flies with a constant speed of 700 miles per hour. How long will it take to travel a distance of 350 miles?

Answer 1

Answer: 1/2 hour

Explanation:

700 miles = 1 hour

350 miles = x

1 * 350 \ 700 = 0.5 hours

Answer 2

1/2 hour or 30 minutes

Explanation:

distance = rate * time

We know the rate = 700 mph and the distance = 350 miles

350 = 700 t

Divide each side by 700

350/700 = 700t/700

1/2 = t

The time is in hours
