Question

A missionary used his plane to take an injured girl 855 kilometers to the hospital. If he flew at an average speed of 171 kilometers per hour, how long did it take to reach the hospital?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

171 km/h

travel distance = 855 km

855 / 171 = 5 hours

it took him 5 hours to fly the 855 km (theoretically to the hospital).

normally, with a plane, you can't land on or at a hospital. you would need a helicopter to be able to do that.

so, he could only fly to a nearby airport, and then travel from there to the hospital. but we have no information about that.
