Question

A jet travels 590 miles in 5 hours; how far can it travel in 11 hours. With an explanation.

Answer 1

First divide 590 by 5 which equals 118
then take 118 and multiply by 11 which equals 1298 miles. the jet will be able to travel 1298 miles in 11 hours

Answer 2

Answer:

1298 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

In 5 hours, a jet would travel 5 times the distance that it would if it were to travel for one hour. This means that 590 is five times the distance of one hour. So, 590 divided by 5 is 118, so the jet travels 118 miles in one hour(this is basically the speed).

We can do the reverse to find how far it can travel in 11 hours given the jet travels 118 miles an hour. Using the same logic, the jet would travel 118 in each of the 11 hours, which is 118 x 11: 1298 mi.
