Question

A jet travels 550 miles in 2 hours. At this rate, how far could the jet fly in 15 hours? What is the rate of speed of the jet?

Answer 1

4125 miles, 275 mi/hr

Explanation:

Divide 550/2 to get the jet's rate in miles per hour.

550mi/2hr = 275 mi/hr

We can multiply the rate by 15 hours to find out how far the jet could fly in that time.

275 mi/hr * 15 hr = 4125 mi
