Question

3. A small airplane flew 104 miles in 50

Answer 1

Answer: 124.8 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that if the rate of change of distance with respect to time remains constant, then the distance and time are proportional .

Given : A small airplane flew 104 miles in 50  minutes.

Let x be the distance traveled in 1 hour

Also, it is given that $\text{50 minutes}= \dfrac{5}{6}\text{ hour}$

Then we have the following proportional equation:-

$\dfrac{x}{1}=\dfrac{104}{\dfrac{5}{6}}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{104\times6}{5}=124.8\text{ miles}$

Hence, it can fly 124.8 miles in an hour.

Answer 2

124.8 minutes is the answer. You put 104/50=2.08. So, 2.08x60=124.8.
