We can first simplify the rate to miles per minute. Since the plane goes 12 miles in 3 minutes, we can divide it by 3 to find how much it travels in one minute. 12 divided by 3 is 4 and 3 divided by 3 is 1
The plane travels 4 miles a minute
To find how much it travels in 7 minutes, multiply by 7
If this is in science terms its a plain if this is in mathematical terms, the answer is the number 0 anything below is negative, anything abouve is pos
