Question 356983: A small plane flies from Big Lake to Pine city everyday, with a 30min layover in Summerville. The distance between BL and Summerville is 575mi, the distance between Summerville and Pine city is 325mi. If the plane flies at an average speed of 200mph, how long does the whole trip (including any stops) from BL to Pine city take? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! time = distance/speed
first leg
575/200 = 2.875 hours
..
second leg
325/200 = 1.625 hours
..
stopover time = 0.5 hours
...
total time = 2.875+1.625+0.5= 5 hours
...
total distance = 575+325=900 miles
total time = 5 hours
...
speed = distance /time
900/5= 180 mph is the average speed between Big lake to pine city
