Question

A small airplane can fly 12 miles in 3 minutes. At this rate, how far can the airplane fly in 1 hour?

Answer 1

Answer:

The airplane can fly up to 240 miles in a hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Cross multiply

(12)(60)=3x

720=3x

Divide 3 on both sides

x=240

Answer 2

There are 60 minutes in 1 hour.

60 ÷ 3 = 20

12 × 20 = 240

In one hour, the airplane could fly at 240 miles.
