Question

a jet travels 410 miles in 5 hours. At this rate, how far could the jet fly in 14 hours? What is the rate of speed of the jet

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate X Time = distance

Therefore:

    r (rate) X 5 (hours) = 600 (distance)

    r = 600/5

    r = 120 miles per hour

    The rate of speed of the jet is 120 mph.

 

Then, to find out the distance flown in 13 hours:

    120 (rate) X 13 (time) = d (distance)

    120 X 13 = d

    1560 = d

    The distance flown in 13 hours is 1560 miles.
