Question

82.242 miles
822.42 miles
8,224.2 miles
82,242 miles

Answer 1

To calculate the distance that Jeremiah flew, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} \]

In this case, the speed is 304.6 miles per hour and the time is 2.7 hours.

Now, substitute the values into the formula:

\[ \text{Distance} = 304.6 , \text{miles/hour} \times 2.7 , \text{hours} \]

Calculating that gives:

\[ \text{Distance} = 304.6 \times 2.7 = 822.42 , \text{miles} \]

So, the correct answer is 822.42 miles.
