For 2 hrs the plane speed is
\n" ); document.write( "\"+600+-+50+=+550+\" mi/hr
\n" ); document.write( "In 2 hrs, the plane goes
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d+=+550%2A2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d+=+1100+\" mi
\n" ); document.write( "During the next hour, the plane travels
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d+=+600%2A1+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d+=+600+\" mi
\n" ); document.write( "It's total distance traveled is
\n" ); document.write( "\"+1100+%2B+600+=+1700+\" mi
\n" ); document.write( "The answer is (c)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
