Question

An airplane is flying from New York City to Los Angeles. The distance it travels in miles, d, is related to the time in seconds, t, by the equation d = 0.15t.

how far would an airplane travel in 30 seconds to new york to los angeles?

Answer 1

4.50 miles. In this case you will take .15x30 which is 4.50

Answer 2

Answer: 4.5 miles.

Explanation:

Given : An airplane is flying from New York City to Los Angeles.

The distance it travels in miles, d, is related to the time in seconds, t, by the equation
`d = 0.15t` . (1)

To find : The distance traveled by airplane travel in 30 seconds to New York to Los Angeles.

We substitute the value of t= 30 in equation (1) , we get

`d = 0.15(30)=4.5`

i.e. the distance traveled by airplane travel in 30 seconds to New York to Los Angeles = 4.5 miles.

Hence, the correct answer is 4.5 miles.
