You can put this solution on YOUR website! Tran is traveling with his family to Hawaii.
So far, they have flown 1,200 miles in 2 1/2 hours.
The flight will last 10 1/2 hours altogether.
How many miles per hour is the plane traveling?
:
you can find the mph just using the statement:
"they have flown 1,200 miles in 2 1/2 hours."
(speed = dist/time) = 480 mph
:
The statement,"The flight will last 10 1/2 hours altogether." could be used
to find the total distance, but you did not ask for that, anyway
10.5 * 480 = 5040 miles
