A plane is traveling from Los Angeles to New York for a total of 2650 miles.
\n" ); document.write( " It will take 5.4 hours to complete the trip after traveling 475 miles.
\n" ); document.write( " How many hours will it take to complete the whole trip?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the speed of the plane
\n" ); document.write( "s = \"%28%282650-475%29%29%2F5.4\"
\n" ); document.write( "s = 402.778 mph
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the time of the whole trip
\n" ); document.write( "t = \"2650%2F402.778\"
\n" ); document.write( "t = 6.58 hrs
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check this by finding the time of the 1st 475 mi
\n" ); document.write( "\"475%2F402.778\" = 1.18 hrs
\n" ); document.write( "Add to the time of the rest of the trip
\n" ); document.write( "5.4 + 1.18 = 6.58 hrs
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
