Math problem: An airplane traveled 5.7 x 102 miles per hour for 1.4 x 101 hours. How far did the airplane travel?

Answer 1

The distance travelled is 7.98×10³ miles.

Explanation:

Given that the formula to find distance is Distance = Speed×Time. Then you have substitute the values into the formula :

`distance = speed * time`

Let speed = 5.7×10²,

Let time = 1.4×10¹,

`d = (5.7 * {10}^(2) ) * (1.4 * 10)`

`d = (5.7 * 1.4) * ( {10}^(2) * 10)`

`d = 7.98 * {10}^(3) miles`
