Question

How many miles can a commercial jetliner flying at 253 meters per second travel in 6.0 hours?

Answer 1

The Jetliner will travel a total of 1518 meters if flying for 6 hours.

Answer 2

As the commercial jetliner is flying at 253 meters per second.

there are 60 seconds in 1 min, and 60 minutes in 1 hr, and so there are 3600 seconds in a hour

as the jetliner is flying 253 meters per second, you will multiply 253 x 3600.

You will then get 910800 meters in 6 hrs.

1 mile = 1609.34 meters, and so  910800 meters = 565.944882 miles.

rounding 565.944882, you will get 565.945, or 566 miles as your answer

hope this helps :D
