Answer:

At a speed of 550mph, the airplane covers 3,025 miles in 5 1/2 hours.

Explanation:

Given:

• The speed of the airplane = 550 miles per hour

,

• Time taken = 5 1/2 hours

We want to find out how far the airplane travels.

The distance covered is calculated using the formula:


Distance=Speed* Time

Substitute the given values:


Distance=550*5(1)/(2)

Simplify:


\begin{gathered} Distance=550*(11)/(2) \\ =275*2*(11)/(2) \\ =275*11 \\ =3025\text{ miles} \end{gathered}

The airplane covers 3,025 miles in 5 1/2 hours.
