Question

A small plane flies 760,320 yards in 2 hours. Use the formula d=rt, d represents distance, r represents rate, and t represents time, to answer the following questions. Show Your Work! Part A: Rearrange the distance formula, d=rt, to solve for ratePart B: Find the planes rate in yards per hourPart C: Find the planes rate in miles per hourPart D: Which unit, yard, or miles, makes more sense to use in this scenario, and why?I just need part C and part D.

Answer 1

Given

Explanation:

Part B:

The rate of the plane is 380,160 yards/hr.

Part C:

Since

$1yard=\frac{1}{1760}miles$

Then,

$\left(380160\right)\times\left(\frac{1}{1760}miles\right)=216miles/hr$

Part D:

The unit of miles make more sense to use in this scenario because of the number of significant digits.

As yards would require a number in the hundred-thousands.
