Question

The Cessna Citation V can fly 650 miles in 1.3 hours. How far can it fly in 2 hours?


422.5 miles

1,000 miles

877.5 miles

Answer 1

To determine how far the Cessna Citation V can fly in 2 hours, we first need to calculate its speed.

1. Calculate the speed:
\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{650 \text{ miles}}{1.3 \text{ hours}} \approx 500 \text{ miles per hour}
\]

2. Now, use the speed to find out how far it can fly in 2 hours:
\[
\text{Distance in 2 hours} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} = 500 \text{ miles/hour} \times 2 \text{ hours} = 1000 \text{ miles}
\]

So, the Cessna Citation V can fly **1,000 miles** in 2 hours.
