a plane flies 2730km from paris to istanbul. it departs from paris where the time is 10:23 and arrives in istanbul where the time is 15:48. given that the time in istanbul is 2 hours ahead of paris, calculate the average speed of the plane, in kilometers per hour.

To calculate the average speed of the plane in kilometers per hour, you need to find the total time taken for the flight and then divide the distance traveled by this time.

Convert the time from Paris to Istanbul to a common time zone (either Paris time or Istanbul time). Since Istanbul time is 2 hours ahead of Paris time, you'll convert the arrival time in Istanbul to Paris time.

The arrival time in Istanbul is 15:48, which in Paris time would be 13:48 (subtract 2 hours).

Calculate the total time taken for the flight in hours.

Departure time: 10:23

Arrival time: 13:48 (converted to Paris time)

Time taken = Arrival time - Departure time = 13:48 - 10:23 = 3 hours and 25 minutes

Therefore,

3 hours and 25 minutes = 3 + (25/60) hours = 3.4167 hours

Now, use the formula for average speed:

Average Speed = Distance / Time

Given:

Distance = 2730 km

Time = 3.4167 hours

Calculate the average speed:

Average Speed = 2730 km / 3.4167 hours = 799.23 km/h

Therefore, the average speed of the plane, in kilometers per hour, is 799.23 km/h.
