Question

An airplane travels at a constant speed of 475 miles per hour. Write an equation that be used to determine the number of miles, m, the airplane will travel in h hours

Answer 1

The equation is
`m=475h`.

Explanation:

Given:

Speed of airplane= 475 miles per hour

Let the distance traveled by airplane be m miles.

Also let time taken by airplane to travel the distance be h hours.

Now we know that speed is given by distance divide by time.

Hence;

`Speed = (Distance)/(Time)\\\\Distance = Speed * Time`

Now Substituting given details in the above equation we get;

`m = 475* h\\m=475h`

Hence the Equation that determines the number of miles, m, the airplane will travel in h hours is
`m=475h`.
