Question

A jet travels 510 in 5 hours. At this rate, how far could the jet fly in 9 hours? What is the rate of speed of the jet?

Answer 1

510÷5=102/1
102+102+102+102+510=918
102/1
918 in 9 hours
rate of 102 per hour

Answer 2

Hi!

We will first find the rate per hour, like this:

510 in 5 hours

x in 1 hour

_____________

x = (510*1)/5

x = 510/5

x = 102 miles per hour

In 9 hours, the jet could fly 9*102 = 918 miles.

Hope this helps!
