Question

How long will it take a plane flying at 532 miles/hour to go 10 miles? Answer in seconds to the nearest whole number of seconds.

Answer 1

Answer: 68 seconds (approx.)

We know that speed is equal to distance by time.

So time is equal to distance by speed.

So we will get the time in hours when we divide distance (10 miles) by speed (532 miles per hour). We get 0.018 hours which when multiplied by 3600 (since one hour is 3600 seconds) gives 67.66 seconds or approx. 68 seconds. Hope it helped you :) !
