Answer 1

Explanation:

Bonjour,

4,75 h = 4+0,75*60 =

4h 45mn = 4*60 + 45 =240+45 => 265mn

265mn -> 2660 miles

1 mn -> 2660/265

60 mn -> (2660*60)/265=> 602,26miles/h

Answer 2

Answer: It travels 560 miles per hour.

Explanation:

using the proportion,

2660:4.75:x:1

or, 2660:4.75= x:1

or, 2660/4.75 = x/1

or, 2660 = 4.75x

or, x = 2660/4.75

so, x = 560
