Given,
The speed of the jet is 3000 miles per hour.
The distance jet need to travel is 175000.
The time is calculated as,
[tex]\text{Time}=\frac{\text{distance}}{speed}[/tex]Substituting the values then,
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Time}=\frac{\text{1}7500\text{ miles}}{3000\text{ miles / hour}} \\ =5\text{ }\frac{\text{2500}}{3000} \\ =5\frac{25}{30} \\ =5\frac{5}{6}\text{ hours} \\ =5.83\text{ hours} \\ =5\text{ hours 50 minutes} \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the time taken by the jet to cover the distance is 5(5/6) hours or 5 hours 50 minutes.
