Problema Solution
A jet travels 500 miles in 2 hours. At this rate, how far could the jet fly in 11 hours? What is the rate of the speed of the jet?
Answer provided by our tutors
the rate of the speed of the jet v = total distance/total time
v = 500/2
v = 250 mph
let x = the distance that the jet will fly in 11 hours
500 : 2 = x : 11
by solving we find
x = 2750 miles
