A superhero can fly from New York to Los Angeles in 30 minutes. The distance from New York to Los Angeles is approximately 2,450 miles. How many miles per hour is the superhero flying?
To find the superhero's speed in miles per hour, we need to convert the 30 minutes of travel time to hours.
There are 60 minutes in an hour, so 30 minutes is equal to 30/60 = 0.5 hours.
Now, we can calculate the speed by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken:
Speed = Distance / Time
Speed = 2450 miles / 0.5 hours = 4,900 miles per hour.
