Question

A small airplane flew 104 miles in 50 minutes.at this rate,how many miles can it fly in one hour? (50 minutes = 5/6 hour)

Answer 1

124.8 miles

Explanation:

We know that if the rate of change of distance with respect to time remains constant, then the distance and time are proportional .Given : A small airplane flew 104 miles in 50 minutes. Let x be the distance traveled in 1 hour. Also, it is given that Then we have the following proportional equation:-

Hence, it can fly 124.8 miles in an hour.
