Question

If Black Panther leaves in a jet from Wakanda traveling at 3,000 mph, how many hours will it take T'Challa to get to the United States that's 17,500 miles away?

Answer 1

Given,

The speed of the jet is 3000 miles per hour.

The distance jet need to travel is 175000.

The time is calculated as,

`\text{Time}=\frac{\text{distance}}{speed}`

Substituting the values then,

`\begin{gathered} \text{Time}=\frac{\text{1}7500\text{ miles}}{3000\text{ miles / hour}} \\ =5\text{ }\frac{\text{2500}}{3000} \\ =5(25)/(30) \\ =5(5)/(6)\text{ hours} \\ =5.83\text{ hours} \\ =5\text{ hours 50 minutes} \end{gathered}`

Hence, the time taken by the jet to cover the distance is 5(5/6) hours or 5 hours 50 minutes.
