Question

A jet travels 570 miles in 2 hours. At this rate, how far could the jet fly in 11 hours? What is the rate of the speed of the jet.

Answer 1

the jet could fly 2565 miles in 9 hours

the rate is hours:miles 1:285

Explanation:

you do 570/2=285

then you multiply the answer by 9

Answer 2

• The distance flown in 11 hours is 3135 miles.
• The rate of speed of the jet is 285 mph.

Explanation:

Given: A jet travels 570 miles in 2 hours. 11 hours = ___

To find: At this rate, how far could the jet fly in 11 hours? What is the rate the speed of the jet?

Formula: Distance = rate × time. Speed = distance ÷ time.

Solution:

Part 1: The rate/speed of the jet:-

Use the formula to solve:

r (rate) × 2 (hours) = 570 (distance)

r =
`(570)/(2)`

r = 285 miles per hour

The rate of speed of the jet is 285 mph.

Part 2: How far the jet could fly in 11 hours:-

Then, to find out the distance flown in 11 hours;

285 (rate) × 11 (time) = d (distance)

285 × 11 = d

3135 = d

The distance flown in 11 hours is 3135 miles.
