Use the table at the night. How long will the jet take to travel 4840 mi?
Passenger Jet Travel
1 Hours, h 1 2 3 4
Miles, m 440 880 1320 1760
The jet will take _ hours to travel 4840 ml.
Based on the table, we can see that for every 1 hour, the jet travels 440 miles. Therefore, in 4 hours, the jet would travel 4 * 440 = 1760 miles.
Since the desired distance is 4840 miles, we need to find out how many additional miles the jet needs to travel.
4840 miles - 1760 miles = 3080 miles
To find out how many additional hours it will take the jet to travel the remaining 3080 miles, we can divide the distance by the speed of the jet:
3080 miles ÷ 440 miles/hour = 7 hours.
Therefore, the jet will take 4 hours + 7 hours = 11 hours to travel 4840 miles.
To find out how long the jet will take to travel 4840 miles, we need to look at the table and find the number of hours for which the corresponding miles are closest to 4840.
From the table, we can see that at 1760 miles, the jet has traveled for 4 hours. Since 4840 miles is greater than 1760 miles, but less than 5280 miles (1320 miles x 4), we can conclude that the jet will take between 4 and 5 hours to travel 4840 miles.
We can use proportional reasoning to estimate the exact number of hours.
Let's calculate the miles traveled per hour:
For 4 hours, the jet traveled 1760 miles.
Therefore, in one hour, the jet would travel 1760 miles / 4 hours = 440 miles.
To find the number of hours it will take to travel 4840 miles, we can divide the total miles by the miles traveled per hour.
4840 miles / 440 miles per hour = 11 hours
Therefore, the jet will take approximately 11 hours to travel 4840 miles.
