Question

Is travelling to another country.

He flies for 7 hours at an average speed of 990 km/h on one plane.
He then flies for 6 hours 15 minutes at an average speed of 920 km/h on a second plane.
What is the total distance, in km, he travelled by plane?

Answer 1

First time=7hours

First speed=990km/hour

First distance=first time×first speedD=(

S×T)

D=990km/hr×7hrs

D=6930km.

Second time=6&14min.

Second speed=920km/hr

Second distance=second speed×second time (D=s×t)

D=920km/hr×6&14min.

D=1500

Total distance=6930+1500

=8430
