Question

Jessica wrote the equation 470•h=3,008, where h is the number of hours it took a plane flying at a constant speed of 470 miles per hour to travel 3,008 miles. Solve for h.

Answer 1

Given:

`470\cdot h=3008`

To solve for h:

On solving we get,

`\begin{gathered} 470\cdot h=3008 \\ h=(3008)/(470) \\ h=6.4\text{ hours} \end{gathered}`

Hence, the answer is h=6.4 hours (or) h=6 hours 24 minutes.
