Distance = Rate * Time\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "D = r*t\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "D = 150*3\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "D = 450\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The plane has traveled 450 miles\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Note: this is assuming there is no wind to slow down or speed up the plane. That means it maintains a constant speed of 150 mph. This assumption is unreasonable as wind does play a factor in real life, but for the purposes of this problem, it's best to have this assumption to simplify things.
