Answer:

The equation is
.

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
.
