Question 936514: Sidney flew in an airplane 5 times during her vacation. The flights averaged 2 hours 28 minutes long. The lengths of her first four flights were 2 hours 10 minutes, 3 hours 20 minutes, 1 hour 15 minutes, and 2 hours 40 minutes. What was the length of her last flight?
Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = length of 5th flight in hours
y = sum of lengths of first 4 flights in hours
---
y = (2+10/60) + (3+20/60) + (1+15/60) + (2+40/60)
y = 9.4166666666
---
( y + x )/5 = (2+28/60)
( y + x )/5 = 2.4666666666
x = 2.4666666666*5 - y
x = 2.4666666666*5 - 9.4166666666
x = 2.916666666

answer:
the 5th flight lasted 2.917 hours
