Question

A jet fighter is capable of reaching speeds up to 1.5 x 10^3 miles per hour. A typical passenger plane can reach speeds of approximately
5.0 x 10^2 miles per hour. About how many times faster can the jet fighter travel per hour than the typical passenger plane?

Answer 1

Answer:

3 times faster

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1.5(10)^{3} }{5.0(10)^{2}} = \frac{1.5(10)}{5} = \frac{15}{5} = 3$ times faster
