To determine how long the jet will take to travel 4620 miles, we need to look at the table and find the corresponding time.

From the table, we can see that when the jet travels 1680 miles, it takes 4 hours.

To find the time for 4620 miles, we can set up a proportion:

miles / hours = miles / hours

1680 / 4 = 4620 / x (where x is the unknown time)

Cross-multiplying, we get:

1680 * x = 4 * 4620

1680x = 18480

Dividing both sides by 1680, we find:

x = 11

Therefore, the jet will take 11 hours to travel 4620 miles.
