Question

A plane can travel 5000 kilometers
in 6 hours. How far can it travel in
1.5 hours?

Answer 1

`1250km`

Explanation:

To find how far the plane can travel in
`1.5` hours, we need to first find the speed of the plane.

It is given that the plane can travel
`5000` kilometers in 6 hours, so the following equation can be written:

`s = 5000km/6hours` (
`s` refers to the speed of the plane)

`= 833(1)/(3)km/hour`

To find how far the plane travels in
`1.5` hours, we can multiply the distance it travels in 1 hour to
`1.5` hours:

Distance travelled
`= 833(1)/(3)* 1.5`

`=1250km`

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

1250 Kilometers.

Explanation:

Start by finding the proper ratio of 5000:6. Now divide 6/1.5 to see what we need to divide 5000 by. 6/1.5 is 4. So divide 5000 by 4. This gives you an answer of 1250 kilometers.
