A plane flies 50km in 15 minutes. How long does it take to fly 300km?

1 answer

To find the time it takes to fly 300km, we can set up a proportion:

50km/15 minutes = 300km/x minutes

Cross-multiplying, we get:
50x = 15 * 300
50x = 4500

Dividing both sides by 50:
x = 4500/50

Simplifying, we get:
x = 90

Therefore, it takes 90 minutes to fly 300km.
