Question

An airplane flies 105 miles per half an hour. How far can it fly in 1.25 hours at the same speed. Brainliest for correct answer. (ANSWER ISN't 262.5)

Answer 1

Answer:

Airplane fly 262.5miles far.

solution given:

rate=105 miles per 0.5 hour=210miles per hour

distance =rate ×time=210×1.25=262.5miles

Answer 2

262.5 should be the correct answer though. 105/30=3.5 so the plane is approximately traveling at 3.5 miles per minute. 3.5x60= 210 so at an hour it has traveled 210 miles. Then we must find .25 of an hour which is 15 minutes. 15x 3.5=52.5. Add both the hour value and the .25 of an hour value together and it is 262.5 miles.
