In 1927, Charles Lindbergh had his first

solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean. He
flew 3,610 miles in 33.5 hours. If he flew
about the same number of miles each
hour, how many miles did he fly each
hour?

To find out how many miles Charles Lindbergh flew per hour, we can use the formula:

miles per hour = total miles / total hours

In this case, the total miles is 3,610 and the total hours is 33.5. Plugging in these values, we get:

miles per hour = 3,610 / 33.5

miles per hour = 107.7 (approximately)

So Charles Lindbergh flew about 107.7 miles per hour during his first solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean.
