Answer 2

The distance covered by the airplane after 2 hours given a constant speed is 1100 miles

• Since, the speed of the plane is said to be constant ;

• The speed of the plane can be calculated from the information in the table thus :

• Speed = distance ÷ time

• Distance traveled = 1650 miles ; time = 3 hours

• Speed = 1650 / 3 = 550 miles per hour

• Hence, the speed of the airplane = 550 miles per hour

• Distance covered in 2 hours will be : (Speed × time)

• Distance covered in 2 hours = (550 × 2) = 1100 miles

The distance covered by the plane in 2 hours is 1100 miles
