Question

It takes a jet 2 hours to fly 1100 miles at this rate. How far does it fly in 8 hours

Answer 1

Answer: The jet will fly 4400miles in 8 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the missing value be represented by x

2 hours = 1100 miles

8 hours = x

We cross multiply:

2x = 1100 x 8

2x = 8800

Divide both sides by 2 to get the value of x

x = 8800/2

x = 4400

Therefore, the jet will fly 4400miles in 8 hours.
