To answer your questions, we first need to establish the distances between the cities mentioned in your itinerary, which we can express in miles. The conversion factor you provided is that 1 unit equals 125 miles. Let's proceed step-by-step with some approximate distances:
1. **Dallas to New York City:** The approximate distance is **1,200 miles**.
2. **New York City to Charlotte:** The approximate distance is **600 miles**.
**Charlotte to Dallas:** Approximately **700 miles**.
**Total:** 600 + 700 = **1,300 miles**.
3. **Dallas to Las Vegas:** Approximately **1,000 miles**.
**Las Vegas to Salt Lake City:** Approximately **420 miles**.
**Total miles traveled (1,000 + 420):** **1,420 miles**.
4. **Salt Lake City to Nashville:** Approximately **1,200 miles**.
At a speed of 500 mi/hr, the flight duration would be:
\[
\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}} = \frac{1200}{500} = 2.4 \text{ hours} \text{ (or 2 hours and 24 minutes)}
\]
5. **Nashville to Dallas:** Approximately **600 miles**.
6. **Dallas to Helena:** Approximately **700 miles**.
At a speed of 520 mi/hr, the flight duration would be:
\[
\text{Time} = \frac{700}{520} \approx 1.35 \text{ hours} \text{ (or 1 hour and 21 minutes)}
\]
7. **Helena to Seattle:** Approximately **600 miles**.
If the Uber driver was traveling at 60 mi/hr, the time would be:
\[
\text{Time} = \frac{600}{60} = 10 \text{ hours}
\]
8. **Seattle to Dallas:** Approximately **800 miles**.
Now, let's summarize the information:
1. Dallas to New York City: **1,200 miles**
2. New York City to Charlotte then to Dallas: **1,300 miles**
3. Dallas to Las Vegas, then to Salt Lake City: **1,420 miles** (1,000 miles + 420 miles)
4. Salt Lake City to Nashville: **1,200 miles**; Flight duration: **2.4 hours**(2 hours 24 minutes)
5. Nashville to Dallas: **600 miles**
6. Dallas to Helena: **700 miles**; Flight duration: **1.35 hours**(1 hour 21 minutes)
7. Helena to Seattle (Uber): **600 miles**; Time: **10 hours**
8. Seattle to Dallas: **800 miles**
