Question 98242
First convert {{{4&2/3}}} to an improper fraction:


Multiply the denominator 3 by the whole number 4 to get 12. Now add 2 to 12 to get 14. So the improper fraction is {{{14/3}}}



So now we have a time {{{t=14/3}}} and a rate {{{r=540}}}. Plug these into the distance-rate-time formula {{{d=rt}}} to find d


{{{d=540(14/3)}}} Plug in {{{r=540}}} and {{{t=14/3}}} 


{{{d=2520}}} Multiply


So the plane flew 2,520 miles
