Complete question :

On a flight New York to London an airplane travels at a constant speed. An equation relating the distance traveled in miles d to the number of hours flying t is t= 1/500d. How long will it take the airplane to travel 800 miles?

Answer:

1.6 hours

Explanation:

Given the function :

Time t taken for flying distance d is given by:

t = 1/500 * d

Tine taken to fly 800 miles;

d = 800 miles

t = 1/500 * (800)

t = 800 / 500

t = 1.6

Hence, time t = 1.6 hours
