First to find the planes speed in miles per hour,
Divide 3360 by 6 which gives you 560.
Then, to find for 10 hours, you would multiply 560 by 10 which gives you 5600.
The plane can travel 5600 miles in 10 hours.

The planes speed would be 560 miles/hour.
If you divide 3360 by 6 = 560
In 10 hours the plane would travel 5,600 miles.
560 x 10 = 5600
