airplane flies for 3142 miles at 550 miles per hour.
\n" ); document.write( "R*T=D (rate * time = distance)
\n" ); document.write( "T = D/R (time = distance divided by rate
\n" ); document.write( "T = time in hours
\n" ); document.write( "D = distance = 3142
\n" ); document.write( "R = rate = 550 miles per hour
\n" ); document.write( "3142/550 = 5.712727273 hours
\n" ); document.write( "that equates to 5 hours and .712727273 * 60 minutes
\n" ); document.write( "that equates to 5 hours and 42.76 minutes.
\n" ); document.write( "that equates to 5 hours and 43 minutes rounded to the nearest minute.
\n" ); document.write( "time of departure from new york is 9:07 am new york time (presumed).
\n" ); document.write( "plus 5 hours is 2:07 pm new york time.
\n" ); document.write( "plus 43 minutes is 2:50 pm new york time.
\n" ); document.write( "ETA (estimated time of arrival) is 2:50 pm new york time.
\n" ); document.write( "since california time is 3 hours behind new york time,
\n" ); document.write( "ETA is 11:50 am california time. \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
