Question

a jet travels 520 miles in 5 hours at this rate how far could the jet fly in 11 hours what is the rate of speed of the jet

Answer 1

The rate of speed of jet is 104 miles per hour

The jet could cover 1144 miles in 11 hours

Solution:

Given that,

A jet travels 520 miles in 5 hours

Find the miles traveled in 1 hour ( speed in miles per hour)

$speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

$Speed = \frac{520}{5}\\\\Speed = 104\ miles\ per\ hour$

How far could the jet fly in 11 hours

Time = 11 hours

Speed = 104 miles per hour

$Distance = speed \times time\\\\Distance = 104 \times 11\\\\Distance = 1144$

Thus the jet could cover 1144 miles in 11 hours
