A jet travels 480 miles in 2 hours. At this rate, how far could the jet fly in 10 hours?
Read the question carefully.
I think that what you have to do is divide 480/2 and then what you get for your answer, you multiply it by 10.
480 divided by 2 (480/2)= a
a * 10= Your answer
Remember, this may not be correct but I hope this helps anyways. Good luck!
Do 480 miles divided by 2 hours to find how far the jet can travel even each hour. You get that the jet can fly 240 miles in 1 hour. Since you need to find how far it flies in 10 hours, simply multiply the distance the jet can travel in 1 hour by 10. So: 240 miles per hour * 10 hours = 2400 miles.
480/2= 240
240 x 10= 2400
I don't know if this is right but hopefully, this helps :)
If you search your question on the internet, someone said:
1,920 is how far the jet travels in 8 hours, the rate of the jet is 240 meaning it would travel 240 miles in 1 hour,
review proportions
x/10 = 480/2
Hopefully @ok and @oobleck help more than I did, sorry I just didn't know what exactly I needed to do 😅😅
To determine how far the jet could fly in 10 hours at the given rate, we need to find the distance it travels in 1 hour, and then multiply that by 10.
Given that the jet travels 480 miles in 2 hours, we can find its speed or distance per hour by dividing the total distance traveled by the time taken:
Distance per hour = Total distance ÷ Time taken
In this case, the jet travels 480 miles in 2 hours, so:
Distance per hour = 480 miles ÷ 2 hours = 240 miles per hour
Now that we know the distance the jet travels in 1 hour is 240 miles, we can find how far it could fly in 10 hours:
Distance in 10 hours = Distance per hour × Time taken
Distance in 10 hours = 240 miles per hour × 10 hours = 2400 miles
Therefore, at this rate, the jet could fly 2400 miles in 10 hours.
