Question

On a flight from 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 . How long will it take the airplane to travel 800 miles? Do not include units (hours) in your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question

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?

Speed is the change in distance if a body with respect to time. It is expressed mathematically according to the question as t = 1/500 × d

To determine the time it will take to travel 800miles, we will substitute d = 800 into the modeled equation.

t = 1/500 × 800

t = 800/500

t = 8/5

t = 1.6
