Data;

Distance fromm A to B: 2,800 miles

Speed of the plane: 800 miles per hour

Find the time that takes the plane to travel 2,800 miles at a speed of 800 miles per hour:


\begin{gathered} \text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{time}} \\ \\ \text{time}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}} \\ \\ \text{time}=(2800mi)/(800mi/h)=3.5h \end{gathered}

Then, the plane arrives at B after 35 hours (3 and a half hours) after it took off.

It took off at 11:05, arrives at 14:35
