The jet flies only 10 miles
That is hilarious! I just googled this question because I was having trouble with this to!!! I am in middle school and my math teacher gave me this question on my skills practice worksheet. I have the answer finally!!!!!!
First you have know that there is 5,280 feet in 1 mile.
You then divide 5,280 to 52,800. You should get a quotient of 10 miles. So, in conclusion, The jet flies at an altitude of 10 miles.

woah woah woah... hold up... What jet besides military stealth bombers would fly at an altitude of 52,800 feet and how in the heck is this useful to someone not flying military aircraft or even ATC (Air Traffic Control)? School is cool and you need it, but sometimes it can't fix common sense. This is why I think our schools have been turned into silly schools in dumbing the population. The real math problem here is A+B=C in which A= altitude, B = brains, and C = common sense.. Make it more realistic like, An American Airlines 777 Boeing aircraft flies out of ORD (which is O'Hare Airport - Chicago) and is now at an altitude of 36,960 feet. What is the ALTITUDE of the 777 Boeing in miles? Answer- 7 Miles ....... NOW THAT'S EDUCATIONAL, REALISTIC AND YOUR NOT GOING TO TICK OFF PILOTS WITH STUPID QUESTIONS AT THE AIRPORT WHEN YOU GROW UP CAUSE YOU USED CORRECT LINGO AND KNOW THE DIFFERENCE!!
