Question

I NEED HELP ASAP. The total distance the plane flies from Chicago to New York City is 792 miles. The flight is 2 hours and 5 minutes long. The plane flies at the same speed during the trip.
• Round the flight time to the nearest hour. 2 hours
About how far will the plane fly in 30 minutes?
• Explain how you found your answer.


round trip is 2hr5min + 2hr5min = 4hr10min or 4 hours

30min/2hr5min = 30/125 = 6/25 of the total time
so, the plane will fly 6/25 * 792 = ? miles
r = d/t = 792mi/125min. = 6.336 mi/min.

d = r*t = 6.336 * 30 =
