Dude, it's easy!

t = d/s
t = 375/500

Now do the math! Get up your lazy butt to get ur phone or a calculator! Wasting your time typing this question when you can do it yourself, the nerve of some people!

BTW why is there a chinese character in your problem? This ain't Mandarin!

Answer: 45 minutes

Explanation:

We want to know how long it takes to an airplane to fly a distance of 375 miles, if the speed of the airplane is 500 miles per hour.

For this, we should divide the distance/speed to get the time that the plane needs.

T = 375mi/(500mi/h) = 0.75 hours

The plane needs 0.75 hours or 0.75*60 = 45 minutes to fly that distance
