Question

The speed of an airplane is 885 km per hour. Find the distance covered by the airplane in 3 hours and 20 minutes. Also, express the distance in scientific notation.​ I will mark as brainliest if you give answer right

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance = speed * time

The distance is:

• 885 * 3 20/60 =
• 885 * 3 1/3 =
• 885 * 10/3 =
• 2950 km

• 2950 km = 2.95*10³ km

Answer 2

Answer:

$2.95\cdot 10^3\:\mathrm{km}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance is given by $D=st$, where $s$ represents speed or rate and $t$ represents time.

What we're given:

• speed of $885\:\mathrm{km/h}$
• time of $3.\overline{3}$ hours

Thus, the distance covered by the airplane is:

$d=885\cdot 3.\overline{3}=2,950\:\mathrm{km}$

In scientific notation:

$2,950\:\mathrm{km}\implies\boxed{2.95\cdot 10^3\:\mathrm{km}}$
