Question 897640: An airplane flies at 150 mi/hr for 3.0 hours. Find the distance it travels.
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Distance = Rate * Time
D = r*t
D = 150*3
D = 450
The plane has traveled 450 miles
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.
