On a flight 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 t= 1/500d. How long will it take the airplane to travel 800 miles?

Answer:

1.6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function :

Time t taken for flying distance d is given by:

t = 1/500 * d

Tine taken to fly 800 miles;

d = 800 miles

t = 1/500 * (800)

t = 800 / 500

t = 1.6

Hence, time t = 1.6 hours

kondor19780726 [428]

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

For the proportion method first set up the equation like this:

$\frac{Part}{Whole}=\frac{Percentage}{100}$

Perform the cross multiplication and then solve for the missing part.

For example:

Find 80 percentage of 10.

Step 1: Set up the equation.

$\frac{Part}{10}=\frac{80}{100}$

$\frac{Part}{10}=\frac{4}{5}$

Step 2: Perform the cross multiplication

$Part=\frac{4}{5}\times 10$

Step 3: Solve for the missing part.

$Part=4 \times 2$

$Part=8$
