Question 1033053
.
A jet travels 430 miles in 2 hours at this rate how far could the jet fly in 8 hours what is the rate of speed of the jet 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
The term "the rate of speed" is INAPPLICABLE in this situation.

There is a speed, and there is a rate, and they are THE SAME in this problem .

Read your textbook and learn terminology.

This is FIRST what you must do.

The rate in this problem is {{{430_miles/2_hours}}} = 215 miles-per-hour = 215 mph.

The speed in this problem is {{{430_miles/2_hours}}} = 215 miles-per-hour = 215 mph.

And now calculate YOURSELF how far could the jet fly in 8 hours by multiplying the speed by time: 215 mph * 8 hours = . . (?) . .
