Question

In 1927, Charles Lindburgh had his first solo flight across the Antlantic Ocean. He flew 3,610 miles in 33.5 hours. If he flew about the same number of miles each hour, how many miles did he fly each hour?

Answer 1

Answer:

107.76

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the above question that:

He flew 3,610 miles in 33.5 hours. If he flew about the same number of miles each hour, how many miles did he fly each hour?

We solve the above question by:

33.5 hours = 3610 miles

1 hour = x miles

Cross Multiply

33.5 hours × x miles = 3610 miles × 1 hour

x miles = 3610 miles × 1 hour/33.5 hours

x miles = 107.76119403 miles

Approximately = 107.76 miles per hour

Therefore, he flew 107.76 miles each hour
