Plane A is flying at a rate of 560 mph and is traveling 1960 miles from Phoenix to Washington, D.C. Determine how long the flight will take.

Which answer choice shows the correct equation and solution for the situation?

a)The equation is 1960h=560. The trip will take 3.5 hours.
b)The equation is 560h=1960. The trip will take 1400 hours.
c)The equation is 1960h=560. The trip will take 0.29 hours.
d)The equation is 560h=1960. The trip will take 3.5 hours.
e)The equation is 1960=560+h. The trip will take 14 hours.

I think it's e but I'm unsure

14 hours? That's much too long.

its 3.5 hours A.

To determine the correct answer, we need to set up an equation using the formula: Distance = Rate × Time.

In this case, the distance is given as 1960 miles, and the rate (or speed) of Plane A is 560 mph. We are trying to find the time it takes for the flight.

Therefore, the correct equation would be: 1960 = 560 × Time.

Now, to solve for Time, we divide both sides of the equation by 560:

Time = 1960 / 560

Evaluating this expression, we find that:

Time ≈ 3.5 hours.

So, the correct answer is option d) The equation is 560h = 1960. The trip will take 3.5 hours.
