To calculate the distance traveled by the plane, we can use the formula for distance:
\[
\text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time}
\]
Given:
- Speed = 230 mph
- Time = 2.5 hours
Now substituting the values into the formula:
\[
\text{Distance} = 230 \, \text{mph} \times 2.5 \, \text{hours} = 575 \, \text{miles}
\]
The direction (60 degrees north of west) does not affect the distance traveled; it would be relevant if we were asked about the vector components or the position relative to a point, but for the distance traveled, it remains:
\[
\text{Distance traveled} = 575 \, \text{miles}
\]
