Question

An airplane traveled 1000 miles in 2 hours how long would it take that plane to travel 5000 miles if it travels at the same speed

5hours
6hours
7hours
10hours
12hours

Answer 1

10 hours

Explanation:

Create a proportion where x is the number of hours to travel 5000 miles

`(1000)/(2)` =
`(5000)/(x)`

Cross multiply and solve for x

1000x = 10000

x = 10

So, it will take 10 hours.
