Answer:

1380 miles in 15 hours

Explanation:

*Assuming the jet travel at a constant speed.

First, find the amount the jet flew in 1 hour. Divide 460 miles with 5 hours:

460/5 = 92

The jet travels 92 miles per hour.

Next, multiply 92 mph with 15 hours:

92 x 15 = 1380 miles

1380 miles in 15 hours is your answer.
