Question

An airplane leaves Los Angeles and travels five hours to New YorkCity. The return trip travels along the same route and takes six hours and 15 minutes because the plane travels 99 mph slower due to the head wind find the distance that the plane flies between the two cities ? (The distance of the plane flies between the two cities is_ miles)

Answer 1

The distance of the plane flies between the two cities is 1,113.75  miles

The formula for calculating the distance travelled is expressed as:

D = vt where:

v is the speed

t is the time taken

Given the following:

v = 99mi/hr

Total time taken = 5hr + 6.25hr

Total time taken = 11.25hr

Get the required distance

Distance = 99mi/hr * 11.25hr

Distance = 1,113.75miles

Hence the distance of the plane flies between the two cities is 1,113.75  miles
