Question 1164163: A non-stop flight between two cities averages 460(mph) and takes 2.5 hours. The nonstop flight back averages 500 miles per hour because of a tailwind. How long does the flight back take, assuming it follows the same flight path? Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A non-stop flight between two cities averages 460(mph) and takes 2.5 hours.
The nonstop flight back averages 500 miles per hour because of a tailwind.
How long does the flight back take, assuming it follows the same flight path?
:
find the distance of the flight; dist = speed * time
460 * 2.5 = 1150 mi
find the return time when av speed was 500 mph; time = dist/speed
t =
t = 2.3 hrs
