Question

An airplane travels at 150 miles per hour. The total distance traveled is 637.5 miles. Which equation should be solved to determine the number of hours (h) traveled?

Answer 1

The distance (d) traveled by the airplane is the product of multiplying the speed (s) and the trip took (h). The equation is shown below, 
                                           d = s x h
Substitute the known values to the equation, 
                                       637.5 miles = (150 mile/ hour) x h
Manipulating the equation,
                                       h = (637.5 miles) / (150 mile/ hr) 
h is equal to 4.25 hours.
