Question

John travels in an airplane a distance of 800 km. For half of the distance, the
airplane flies at a speed of 900 km/h and for the rest of the distance, it flies at a
speed of 760 km/h. How long does the trip take?

Answer 1

Answer:

Time for the trip= 0.97 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance covered in total = 800km

First half of the journey

= 800/2= 400km

Speed for first half= 900km/h

Time for the first half= 400/900

Time = 4/9 Hours

Distance covered in total = 800km

Second half of the journey

= 800/2= 400km

Speed for second half= 760km/h

Time for the second half= 400/760

Time = 10/19 Hour

Total time for Trip= 4/9 + 10/19

Time for the trip= 0.97 hours
