An aircraft is traveling at an average of 450 mph from Atlanta to Miami a distance of 660 miles how long does the trip take in hours ?

Answer 1

At 450 miles per hour, the aircraft will travel 450 miles in the first hour, then 225 more miles in the next half-hour; that makes 675 miles in 1 1/2 hours. This is a little more than we need.

(660 miles) / (450 miles / hour) = (660 miles) * ( (1 hour) / (450 miles) ) [invert divisor and multiply]

660 / 450 hours [cancel miles]

1.47 hours
