Tran is traveling with his family to Hawaii.
\n" ); document.write( " So far, they have flown 1,200 miles in 2 1/2 hours.
\n" ); document.write( " The flight will last 10 1/2 hours altogether.
\n" ); document.write( " How many miles per hour is the plane traveling?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "you can find the mph just using the statement:
\n" ); document.write( "\"they have flown 1,200 miles in 2 1/2 hours.\"
\n" ); document.write( "(speed = dist/time)
\n" ); document.write( "\"1200%2F2.5\" = 480 mph
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The statement,\"The flight will last 10 1/2 hours altogether.\" could be used
\n" ); document.write( "to find the total distance, but you did not ask for that, anyway
\n" ); document.write( "10.5 * 480 = 5040 miles
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
