Question

A satellite flies 50048 miles in 7.36 hours. How many miles has it flown in 11.93hours?

Answer 1

`81124\ miles`

Explanation:

`We\ are\ given,\\No.\ of\ miles\ a\ satelite\ flies\ in\ 7.36\ hours=50048\ miles\\To\ find:\\The\ no.\ of\ miles\ it\ has\ flown\ in\ 11.93\\Now,\\We\ can\ solve\ this\ by\ constructing\ a\ proportion,\\A\ proportion\ is\ simply\ represented\ in\ this\ format:\\(x_1)/(y_1)=(x_2)/(y_2)\\Here,\\x\ represents\ Miles\ while\ y\ represents\ Hours.\\Hence,\\x_1=50048\ miles\\y_1=7.36\ Hours\\x_2=x_2\\y_2=11.93\ Hours\\Hence,\ by\ setting\ up\ a\ proportion\ we\ get,\\`

`(50048)/(7.36)=(x_2)/(11.93)\\Now,\ by\ solving\ the\ equation,\\6800*11.93=x_2\\x_2=81124\ miles`
