Question

On a flight New York to London an airplane travels at a constant speed. An equation relating the distance traveled in miles d to the number of hours flying t is t= 1/500d. How long will it take the airplane to travel 800 miles?

Answer 1

T = 1/500d....when d = 800
t = (1/500 * 800)
t = 800/500
t = 1.6 hrs <==

Answer 2

Answer:

1.6 hours or 1 hour 36 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an equation $t=\frac{1}{500}d$, where d represents distance traveled in miles and t represents time in hours.

To find the time taken by the flight to travel 800 miles, we will substitute $d=800$ in our given equation as:

$t=\frac{1}{500}\times 800$

$t=\frac{800}{500}$

$t=\frac{8}{5}$

$t=1.6$

1 hour equals 60 minutes.

0.6 hours = 0.6*60 minutes = 36 minutes.

Therefore, it will take the plane 1.6 hours or 1 hour 36 minutes to travel 800 miles.
