We are trying to find the average speed of the plane, which is mph, or \dfrac{\textrm{miles}}{\textrm{hour}}. Using proportions, we can find the average speed of the plane in mph:

\dfrac{525 \,\, \textrm{miles}}{1.75 \,\,\textrm{hours}} = \dfrac{x \,\, \textrm{miles}}{1 \,\,\textrm{hour}}

  • Use the information from the problem to create a proportion. Remember that we are looking for mph, so we will call that x.

\dfrac{525}{1.75} \,\textrm{miles} = x \,\textrm{miles}

  • Multiply the entire equation by 1 \,\textrm{hour}

\dfrac{525}{1.75} = 300 = x

  • Divide both sides of the equation by 1 \,\textrm{mile} to clear both sides of the mile unit

The average speed of the plane is 300 mph.

he pay a fixed charge of $30 plus $10 per hour to rent the digger work out how much he pays to rent the digger for?
Maslowich
How many hours does he rent it?

Either way, the equation would be 30 + 10x

x is the number of hours he rents the digger.

So for example, if he rented it for say 8 hours

30 + 10(8)
30 + 80
$110
