Question 1052321: A plane flies 1,995 miles in a southwesterly direction from Baltimore to Phoenix in 5.00 hours. What is the velocity of the plane?
Answer by addingup(3677) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
d = rt (distance = rate*time, in this case rate is another word for velocity)
Since you want to know rate (velocity), divide both sides by time
:
r = d/t
Replace letters in this formula with your numbers and use your calculator.
