Q. A plane flew at a constant speed and traveled 762 miles in 5 hours.How many miles would the plane travel in 3 hours at the same speed?□ miles
Calculate Speed: First, find the speed of the plane by dividing the distance by the time it took to travel that distance.Speed = 5 hours762 miles=152.4 miles per hour.
Find Distance in 3 Hours: Next, calculate how far the plane would travel in 3 hours at the same speed.Distance = Speed * Time = 152.4miles/hour×3hours.
Multiply to Find Distance: Do the multiplication to find the distance.Distance = 457.2 miles.
