Question

PLEASE HELP

Rasha and her family are flying to her grandmother's house this summer. She knows that the distance from Charlotte, NC to New Delhi, India is 7,850 miles. If
Rasha's family has a direct flight that took 17 hours, what is the plane's average speed in miles per hour?

Answer 1

Answer: Approximately 461.76 miles per hour

Explanation:

To calculate the plane's average speed in miles per hour, we can divide the distance of 7,850 miles by the time of 17 hours:

Average speed = distance ÷ time

Average speed = 7,850 miles ÷ 17 hours

Average speed ≈ 461.76 miles per hour

Therefore, the plane's average speed is approximately 461.76 miles per hour.

Hope this helps!
