Question

A plane’s average speed between two cities is 600 km/hr. If the trip takes 2.5 hrs. how far does the plane fly

Answer 1

Even though you set this on English, I’ll do the Math.

The plane goes for 600 km per hour.

The trip from a city to another is 2.5 hours

Basically, all you have to do is multiply 600 by 2.5.

That’s 1,500 kilometres.

Answer 2

The plane does travel a distance of 1500 kilometers.

• Distance(s) covered by an object per unit of time(t) can be defined as speed(v). Speed is always calculated in m/s or km/hr.

• It is given that the plane’s average speed between two cities is 600 km/hr.

       ⇒ speed(v) = 600km/h.

• Time of the trip or the time taken by plane to cover the distance(s).

       ⇒ time(t) = 2.5 hours.

• Therefore , the distance covered by the plane is calculated as-

       ⇒ Distance(s) = Speed(v) × Time(t)

       ⇒ Distance(s) = 600km/h × 2.5h

       ⇒ Distance(s) = 1500km.

Hence, the plane flies 1500 kilometers.
