Answer:

500 km

Explanation:

The relationship between distance, speed, and time is ...

distance = speed × time

The units of speed and time must be compatible. Since we're given the rate in distance per hour, our time units must also be hours.

40 min = (40 min)(1 hour)/(60 min) = (40/60) hour = 2/3 hour

Then the distance the plane travels is ...

distance = (750 km/h)(2/3 h) = 500 km

The aeroplane travels 500 km in 40 min.
