Given

A plane 325 km/h

in 30m

Procedure

First let's convert the 30 min into hours in order to be able to operate with the speed


30\text{ min}\cdot\frac{1\text{ h}}{60\text{ min}}=0.5\text{ h}

Now let's calculate the distance traveled by the aircraft in that time.


\begin{gathered} x=325\text{ km/h}\cdot0.5\text{ h} \\ x=162.5\text{ km} \end{gathered}

The total distance traveled by plane in 30 min is 162.5 km.
