The plane was in the air for 7 hours. How far did from the airport did the plane travel? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let distance be x miles
time forward + time return = 7 hours
t= d/r
x/400 + x/300 =7
LCD = 1200
1200 *x/400 + 1200*x/300= 1200*7
3x+4x=8400
7x=8400
x=1200 miles
