THEY FLY 900 MILES PER HR WHEN THEY FLY FROM PENSACOLA TO EL CENTRO IN THEIR F/A-18 HORNETS.
ON EVERY TRIP THEIR C130 TRANSPORT LEAVES BEFORE THEM, CARRYING SUPPLIES AND SUPPORT STAFF.
THE C130 TRAVELS AT 370 MILES PER HR.
oN A TRIP FROM PENSACOLA TO EL CENTRO HOW LONG BEFORE THE HORNET LEAVES
SHOULD the C130 LEAVE IF ITS TO ARRIVE 3 HRS BEFORE THE HORNETS?
THE FLYING DISTANCE BETWEEN PENASACOLA AND EL CENTRO IS 1720 MILES.
:
Let t = time for C130 to arrive 3 hrs before F-18's
:
Write a time equation, time = dist/speed
:
t = 1720%2F370 + 3 - 1720%2F900
t = 4.64865 + 3 - 1.91111
t = 5.73754 hrs or about 5 hrs 44 min before the F-18's
