Question

An airplane is flying from knoxville to new york. The distance it travels in miles, d, is related to the time in seconds, t, by the equation: d=0.12t. How many miles is it flying per second?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.12 miles is it flying per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance d is related to time t in seconds is given by the equation as follows :

d =0.12 t

We need to find how many miles is it flying per second.

$\dfrac{d}{t}=0.12\\\\\dfrac{\text{miles}}{\text{second}}=0.12$

So, the speed of the airplane is 0.12 miles per second, Hence, 0.12 miles is it flying per second.
