Question

On a flight from New York to London, an airplane travels at a constant speed. An equation relating the distance traveled in miles, d, to the number of hours flying, t, is LaTeX: t=\frac{\:1}{500}dt=1500d How long will it take the airplane to travel 500 miles? hours How long will it take the airplane to travel 800 miles? hours

Answer 1

1.6 hours or 1 hour 36 minutes

Explanation:

We have been given an equation , where d represents distance traveled in miles and t represents time in hours.

To find the time taken by the flight to travel 800 miles, we will substitute in our given equation as:

1 hour equals 60 minutes.

0.6 hours = 0.6*60 minutes = 36 minutes.
