Answer:


(550)/(1) =
(3300)/(x)

6 hours

Explanation:

An airplane can travel in one hour = 550 miles

Distance between London to Montreal approximately = 3300 miles

Let the Time taken by the airplane from London to Montreal be = x

The expression will be


(550)/(1) =
(3300)/(x)

x =
(3300)/(550)

x = 6 hours

It will take 6 hours to fly from London to Montreal.
