Question

Mr. Santiago has a flight from New York to Paris that covers a distance of 3640 miles in 7 hours. If the plane travels at the same speed per hour, how many miles will it have traveled after 4 hours

Answer 1

He traveled 2080 miles after 4 hours. He covered 3640 miles in 7 hours with a constant speed, so we can calculate the speed: 3640/7=520 miles/hour. After 4 hours, he traveled 520*4=2080 miles.
