To find the average speed, we need to first convert the time from 4 hours 20 minutes to hours.
4 hours is equal to 4 * 60 = 240 minutes.
So, 4h 20 min is equal to 240 + 20 = 260 minutes.
To convert minutes to hours, we divide by 60.
260 minutes / 60 = 4.33 hours.
Next, we can calculate the average speed by dividing the distance travelled by the time taken.
Average speed = Distance / Time
Average speed = 4330 km / 4.33 hours = 1000 km/h
Therefore, the average speed of the airplane is 1000 km/h.
An airplane travels from Calgary to Toronto in 4h 20 min. Find the average speed if the distance
between the two cities is 4330 km.
