Question 915520
D = r*t


5 = 600*t


5/600 = t


1/120 = t


t = 1/120


It will take 1/120 hours (roughly 0.00833 hours)


Convert to minutes: (1/120)*60 = 60/120 = 1/2


It will take 1/2 or 0.5 minutes (ie 30 seconds) for the jet to travel 5 miles.


Let me know if you need more help or if you need me to explain a step in more detail.
