Gwen is travelling to another country. She flies for 3 hours at an average speed of 625 km/h on one plane. She then flies for 4 hours 15 minutes at an average speed of 880 km/h on a second plane. What is the total distance, in km, she travelled by plane?

Answer:

5,615 km.

Explanation:

The first flight, she traveled for 3 hours at a speed of 625 km/h.


(625)/(1) =(x)/(3)

x = 625 * 3

x = 1,875.

The first flight, she traveled 1,875 km.

The second flight, she traveled for 4.25 hours at a speed of 880 km/h.


(880)/(1) =(x)/(4.25)

x = 880 * 4.25

x = 3,740.

The second flight, she traveled 3,740 km.

So, in total, she traveled 1875 + 3740 = 5,615 kilometres.

Hope this helps!
