Question

How long will it take an airplane flying at an average cruising speed of 230 miles per hour to fly 1380 miles?

Answer 1

Since it takes one hour to fly 230 miles, and we are looking for the number of hours, we can divide the number of miles we are given by the speed. In this case, we would divide 1380 by 230 to get 6. This means it would take 6 hours for the plane to fly 1380 miles.
