Question 1183094: If a plane covers a distance of 700 miles in 1 hour and 43 minutes, what is its speed?
A) Give your answer in mph.
B) Give your answer in ft/second Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! This is 1(43/60) hours or 103/60 hours to go 700 miles
divide 700/(103/60)=407.77 mph
-
feet per second conversion is mph* 5280/3600
=598.06 ft/sec
check by 1h43 min=103 min or 6180 sec
multiply that by 598.06 and divide by 5280 and should be very close to 700; exact if not rounded.
