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.
