You can put this solution on YOUR website! A plane traveling from New York City, New York is 125 miles outside of Austin, TX.
The captain announces to the passengers that they will be making touchdown in about 25 minutes.
How fast is the plane going (in miles per hour)?
:
speed = dist/time
we are dealing in mph, change 25 min to hrs; 25/60 = .4167 hrs
speed = 125/.4167
speed = 300 mph
:
:
Of course this is hypothetical, a plane does not touch down at 300 mph
