Question

an airplane can travel 550 miles per hour. write and solve an equation to find the time it will take to fly from london to montreal a distance of approximately 3300 miles

Answer 1

3300mi ÷ 550 mi/hr =6 hours

Answer 2

`(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.
