Question

A jet travels 420 miles in 2 hours.at this rate how far could the jet fly in 14 hours ?what is the rate of speed of the jet

Answer 1

420 miles divided by 2 hours is 210 miles in one hour, or 210mph, that is the speed of the jet.

So in 14 hours, or 210(14) the jet could fly 2,940 miles.

Answer 2

In 14 hours, the jet will have traveled 2540 miles.

1) first, make a equation to be able to solve; 420/2 = x/14

2) next, you have to figure out what times 2 equals 14. here, it is 7. after that, you multiply 7 by 2 (which is 14) and do the same to the top of the fraction (240 times 7)

3) after you multiply it you get 240/2 = 2540/14

hope this helps !!
