Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Comment

The first flight was given as 120 feet in 12 seconds. Doing the math

`((120)/(5280) )/((12)/(3600) )`

gives 6.82 miles / hour

But the history of what made this flight possible was an engineering act of very careful experimentation and a great deal of thought on how to use mathematics to solve flight problems. It's worth looking up.
