Question

A plane travels 572.5 miles every hour. How far does the plane travel in 0.6 hour? HELP PLEASE IM DESPRATE!

Answer 1

The formula for distance problems is: distance = rate × time or d = r × t

Things to watch out for:
Make sure that you change the units when necessary. For example, if the rate is given in miles per hour and the time is given in minutes then change the units appropriately.
It would be helpful to use a table to organize the information for distance problems. A table helps you to think about one number at a time instead being confused by the question.
