In 1927 Charles Lindbergh flew 3600 miles from new York to Paris in 33 2/3 hours.
:
a.find Lindbergh rate in miles per hour round to the nearest tenth
Speed = dist/time
r = {{{3600/33.67}}} = 106.9 mph
:
b. at this rate how far did Lindbergh fly in 24 hours?
dist = speed * time
106.9 * 24 = 2565.6 mi
;
c. find Lindbergh rate in hours per mile. See a
:
b.how long did it take Lindbergh to travel 1600 miles?
Time = dist/speed (rate)
t = {{{1600/106.9}}}
t ~ 15 hrs
