the formula d = rt relates to the distance d to rate r and time t. find how long it takes an airplane to fly 375 miles at 500 miles per hour.

a) 35 minutes

b) 40 minutes

c)45 minutes

1 answer

To find the time it takes for the airplane to fly 375 miles at a rate of 500 miles per hour, we can rearrange the formula d = rt to solve for t.

t = d/r

Plugging in the given values:

t = 375 miles / 500 mph

Simplifying:

t = 0.75 hours

Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we can convert 0.75 hours into minutes:

0.75 hours * 60 minutes/hour = 45 minutes

Therefore, it takes 45 minutes for the airplane to fly 375 miles at 500 miles per hour.

The correct answer is c) 45 minutes.
