A car travels 55 miles per hour and a plane travels 15 miles per minute. How far does the car travel when the plane travels 500 miles?

A boat can travel 49 miles on 7 gallons of gasoline. How much gasoline will it need to go 91 miles

To find out how far the car travels when the plane travels 500 miles, we need to determine the amount of time it takes for the plane to cover that distance.

Given that the plane travels at a speed of 15 miles per minute, we can use the formula:

Time = Distance / Speed

Plugging in the values, we have:

Time = 500 miles / 15 miles per minute

Dividing 500 by 15, we find that it takes approximately 33.33 minutes for the plane to travel 500 miles.

Now that we know how long it takes for the plane to travel 500 miles, we can calculate how far the car travels during this time.

Since the car's speed is given as 55 miles per hour, we need to convert the time from minutes to hours. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so we multiply the time by (1 hour / 60 minutes):

33.33 minutes * (1 hour / 60 minutes) ≈ 0.56 hours

Finally, we can use the formula:

Distance = Speed * Time

Plugging in the values, we have:

Distance = 55 miles per hour * 0.56 hours

Multiply 55 by 0.56 to get the distance traveled by the car during this time:

Distance = 30.8 miles

Therefore, the car travels approximately 30.8 miles when the plane travels 500 miles.
