Question 958748: Can you please help me with this problem, the approximate distance in miles from Los Angeles and a commercial jet flying from Boston to Los Angeles can be found useing the function m= -475t + 2,650, where t is the number of hours the jet has been flying. Which number of hours and minutes is closest to the amount of time that the jet has been flying if the jet is 1,500 miles from Los Angeles? Thank you for your help
You can put this solution on YOUR website! we are given,
m = -475t + 2,650
we know that m = 1500
1500 = -475t + 2650
-475t = -1150
t = 2.421052632 approx 2.4 hours
.4 * 60 = 24 minutes, therefore
The jet has been flying for 2 hours and 24 minutes
