Question

A plane is 500 miles west of city​ A, and is flying west at 500 miles per hour. How long will it take for the plane to be 2275 miles west of city​ A?

Answer 1

Since the plane is still 500 miles away from city A, we will add 500 to 2275 before calculating.  500 + 2275 = 2775

Now we will divide to see how many hours it will take: 2775/500 = 5.55

So, it would take about 5 and a half hours for the plane to be 2275 miles west of city A.
