0.2 hours
0.5 hours
2 hours
5 hours

Answer 1

To find out how long it takes for an airplane flying at a speed of 600 miles per hour to fly 3,000 miles, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}
\]

Substituting the values:

\[
\text{Time} = \frac{3000 \text{ miles}}{600 \text{ miles per hour}} = 5 \text{ hours}
\]

So, it takes 5 hours for the airplane to fly 3,000 miles. The correct answer is **5 hours**.
