I NEED HELP ASAP. The total distance the plane flies from Chicago to New York City is 792 miles. The flight is 2 hours and 5 minutes long. The plane flies at the same speed during the trip.
• Round the flight time to the nearest hour. 2 hours
About how far will the plane fly in 30 minutes?
• Explain how you found your answer.
round trip is 2hr5min + 2hr5min = 4hr10min or 4 hours
30min/2hr5min = 30/125 = 6/25 of the total time
so, the plane will fly 6/25 * 792 = ? miles
r = d/t = 792mi/125min. = 6.336 mi/min.
d = r*t = 6.336 * 30 =
To find out how far the plane will fly in 30 minutes, we need to figure out the speed of the plane. Since the flight time is 2 hours and 5 minutes, we can round it to the nearest hour, which is 2 hours.
To calculate the speed of the plane, we divide the total distance of 792 miles by the total time of 2 hours:
Speed = Distance / Time
Speed = 792 miles / 2 hours
Using this formula, we can find that the speed of the plane is 396 miles per hour.
Now that we know the speed of the plane, we can calculate how far it will fly in 30 minutes.
To do this, we use the formula:
Distance = Speed * Time
Plugging in the values, we have:
Distance = 396 miles/hour * (30 minutes / 60 minutes)
Simplifying the calculation by converting the time to hours:
Distance = 396 miles/hour * (0.5 hours)
Calculating this gives us:
Distance = 198 miles
Therefore, the plane will fly about 198 miles in 30 minutes.
