An airplane can travel 875.9 miles and 2.3 hours. What is the average speed of the plane round to the nearest hundred?

3 answers

Average speed is calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time taken. In this case, the airplane traveled 875.9 miles in 2.3 hours.

Average speed = 875.9 miles ÷ 2.3 hours

Calculating this, we get:

Average speed ≈ 380.8261 miles/hour

Rounding this to the nearest hundred, the average speed of the plane is approximately 400 miles/hour.
that is incorrect.ಠ╭╮ಠ
Apologies for the mistake. Let's recalculate:

Average speed = Total distance ÷ Total time

Average speed = 875.9 miles ÷ 2.3 hours

Average speed ≈ 380.8261 miles/hour

Rounding this to the nearest hundred, the average speed of the plane is approximately 400 miles/hour.

Therefore, the correct answer is 400 miles/hour.
