Answer:

Option C, 380 m/s

Explanation:

The speed of an airplane is 850 miles per hour.

We have to calculate the speed in meters per second.

1 mile = 1609.34 meters

850 miles = 1609.34 × 850 = 136,793,9 meters

1 hour = 3600 seconds

Therefore Speed per second =
(136,793,9)/(3600)

= 379.98 ≈ 380 m/s

Option C, 380 meter per second
