A plane flies 1890 km in 3.5 hours. How far will the plane fly in 4.2 hours if it maintains the same speed?

1 answer

To find out how far the plane will fly in 4.2 hours, we can use the formula Distance = Speed × Time.

Given that the plane flies 1890 km in 3.5 hours and we want to find out the distance it will fly in 4.2 hours, we can set up the equation as follows:

Distance = Speed × Time

Let's plug in the known values:
Distance = 1890 km
Time = 3.5 hours

Speed = Distance / Time
Speed = 1890 km / 3.5 hours
Speed ≈ 540 km/h

Now that we have the speed, we can use it to calculate the distance the plane will fly in 4.2 hours:

Distance = Speed × Time
Distance = 540 km/h × 4.2 hours
Distance ≈ 2268 km

Therefore, the plane will fly approximately 2268 km in 4.2 hours if it maintains the same speed.
