Use the table at the right. How long will the jet take to travel 4620 mi?
Passenger Jet Travel
Hours, h 1 2 3 4
Miles, m 420 840 1260 1680
The jet will take 1155______hours to travel 4620 mi.
To determine how long the jet will take to travel 4620 miles, we need to look at the table and find the corresponding time.
From the table, we can see that when the jet travels 1680 miles, it takes 4 hours.
To find the time for 4620 miles, we can set up a proportion:
miles / hours = miles / hours
1680 / 4 = 4620 / x (where x is the unknown time)
Cross-multiplying, we get:
1680 * x = 4 * 4620
1680x = 18480
Dividing both sides by 1680, we find:
x = 11
Therefore, the jet will take 11 hours to travel 4620 miles.
To find the time it takes for the jet to travel 4620 miles, we can use the ratio between miles and hours from the table.
First, let's determine the ratio of miles to hours. Looking at the table, we see that the jet covers 420 miles in 1 hour, 840 miles in 2 hours, 1260 miles in 3 hours, and 1680 miles in 4 hours.
To calculate the ratio, we divide the miles by the corresponding number of hours:
- For 420 miles in 1 hour, the ratio is 420/1 = 420.
- For 840 miles in 2 hours, the ratio is 840/2 = 420.
- For 1260 miles in 3 hours, the ratio is 1260/3 = 420.
- For 1680 miles in 4 hours, the ratio is 1680/4 = 420.
From these calculations, we can conclude that the ratio of miles to hours is 420.
To find how long it will take the jet to travel 4620 miles, we divide 4620 by the ratio:
4620 / 420 = 11
Therefore, the jet will take 11 hours to travel 4620 miles.
