Question

How much longer will it take a car traveling at an average speed for 2 miles per hour to make the trip from San francisco to New York than a Dc10 jet flying at an average speed of 500 miles per hour

Answer 1

Answer:

1445.6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between New York and San Francisco = 2902.8 miles (checked online)

Average speed of car = 2 mi/hr

Average speed of jet = 500 mi/hr

Time taken by Jet:

Time taken = Distance / speed

Time taken = 2902.8 / 500

Time taken = 5.8056 = 5.8 hours

Time taken by Car :

Time taken = Distance / speed

Time taken = 2902.8 / 2

Time taken = 5.8056 = 1451.4 hours

Time difference :

1451.4 - 5.8 = 1445.6 hours
