Question

An airplane takes off from Dallas Texas to fly to new york city traveling ne for 2,760 km the Same plane returns that day to Dallas the airplane spent 2 hours on the trip to new york city and the return trip took 2 1/2 hours what is the airplanes speed for the round trip
1,104
1,227
1,300​

Answer 1

Answer: The speed of airplane is 1227 km/hr

Explanation:

Average speed is defined as the ratio of total distance traveled to the total time taken.

To calculate the average speed of the airplane, we use the equation:

$\text{Average speed}=\frac{\text{Total distance traveled}}{\text{Total time taken}}$

We are given:

Total distance traveled = (2760 + 2760) km = 5520 km  (Round trip)

Total time taken = (2 + 2.5) hr = 4.5 hr

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Average speed of airplane}=\frac{5520km}{4.5hr}=1227km/hr$

Hence, the speed of airplane is 1227 km/hr

Answer 2

Answer

1104 km/hour

Explanation

Distance between Dallas Texas to New York = 2760 km

Time the plane took from Dallas to New York = 2 hours

Time the plane took from New York back to Dallas = 2.5 hours

Formula to use

distance = speed x time

Speed the plane took from Dallas to New York

2760 = 2 x speed

speed = 2760 / 2

          = 1380 km/hour

Speed the plane took from New York to Dallas (ROUND TRIP)

2760 = 2.5 x speed

speed = 2760 / 2.5

           = 1104 km/hour
