Question

A jet travels 584 miles in 4 hours. At this rate how far could the jet fly in 13 hours?what is the rate of speed of the jet

Answer 1

The speed at which jet travel is 44.92 miles per hour

The distance cover at 44.92 mph is 583.96 miles .

Explanation:

Given as :

The distance cover by jet = d = 584 miles

The time taken b the jet to cover 584 miles = t = 13 hours

Let The speed at which jet travel = s

So, Speed =
`(\textrm distance)/(\textrm time)`

or, s =
`(\textrm d)/(\textrm t)`

Or, s =
`(584)/(13)`

∴ s = 44.92 mph

So , The speed at which jet travel = s = 44.92 miles per hour

Now, At The speed of 44.92 mph

Let The distance cover at this speed = d' miles

And for the distance of d' , the time taken= 13 hours

Now, Distance = Speed × Time

So, d' = 44.92 mph × 13

Or, d' = 583.96 miles

So, the distance cover at 44.92 mph = d' = 583.96 miles

Hence The speed at which jet travel is 44.92 miles per hour

And The distance cover at 44.92 mph is 583.96 miles . Answer
