Wack its different and i can't find it

150/1000 = x/5280

To find out how much altitude the airplane will gain as it flies a horizontal distance of 1 mile, we need to use the given information of altitude gained per horizontal distance.

We are told that the airplane ascends 150 feet as it flies a horizontal distance of 1000 feet. Now, we need to determine how many times the airplane will cover a horizontal distance of 1000 feet in 1 mile.

One mile is equal to 5280 feet. Therefore, we can calculate the number of times the airplane will fly a horizontal distance of 1000 feet in 1 mile by dividing 5280 by 1000.

5280 / 1000 = 5.28

This means that the airplane will cover a horizontal distance of 1000 feet 5.28 times in 1 mile.

Now, to find out how much altitude the airplane will gain, we can multiply the number of times by the altitude gained per horizontal distance.

5.28 * 150 = 792

Therefore, the airplane will gain 792 feet of altitude as it flies a horizontal distance of 1 mile.
