Answer: The plane had traveled about 264 miles before turning back. The average speed was 230 mph

Step-by-step explanation: 230 - 10 = 220 speed outgoing

230+10 = 240 speed returning

Average speed (220+240)÷2= 460/2 =230 mph (needless to calculate!) Multiplied by total time 2.3 hours = 529 miles total distance.

Traveling the entire distance at 220mph would take about 2.4 hours. Traveling the entire distance at 240mph would take about 2.2 hours, a difference of .20 hours. Cut those times in half:

Traveling at 220mph for 1.2 hours would cover about 264 miles.

Traveling at 240mph for 1.1 hours would cover about 264 miles.

It adds up to 528 miles. The plane can't turn instantly, so figure the turn took the missing mile!

Each person would get $\frac{5}{8}$ pizza.

Solution:

Total quantity of pizza = $1\frac{7}{8}$

Number of persons shared = 3

To find how much pizza would each person get:

Let us first convert improper fraction into mixed fraction.

$$1\frac{7}{8}=\frac{1\times8 + 7}{8}=\frac{15}{8}$

Now divide the total quantity of pizza by the number persons shared.

$$\text{Quantity of pizza each person get}=\frac{(\frac{15}{8}) }{3}$

$$=\frac{15}{8\times3}$

$$=\frac{15}{24}$

Divide both numerator and denominator by 3.

$$=\frac{15\div3}{24\div3}$

$$=\frac{5}{8}$

Quantity of pizza each person get = $\frac{5}{8}$

Hence each person would get $\frac{5}{8}$ pizza.
