Final answer:
The flight from Vancouver to Toronto took approximately 3 hours and 38 minutes. If the airplane left Vancouver at 3:00 am EST, it would arrive in Toronto at 6:38 am EST.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student asked how long a flight from Vancouver to Toronto would take if the airplane cruised at an average speed of 1100 km/h for a 4000 km flight, and what time it would arrive in Toronto if it left Vancouver at 3:00 am EST.
To find the flight duration, we use the formula for time which is time = distance ∕ speed. So, the time taken (∕ stands for divide) can be calculated as:
Time = 4000 km ∕ 1100 km/h = 3.636 hours
Since we work with hours and minutes, we need to convert the decimal to minutes. The 0.636 hours is approximately 0.636 x 60 = 38 minutes. Thus, the flight takes about 3 hours and 38 minutes.
If the plane left at 3:00 am EST, it would arrive at:
Arrival Time in Toronto = 3:00 am EST + 3 hours + 38 minutes = 6:38 am EST
Therefore, the plane would arrive in Toronto at 6:38 am EST.
