Answer:
b. 2,200 miles
Explanation:
Given:
The speed of the plane is, [tex]s=550\ mi/h[/tex]
Time taken by the plane is, [tex]t=4\ h[/tex]
Now, distance traveled by the plane is given as the product of speed of the plane and the time taken by the plane. Therefore, the distance is given as:
Distance = Speed [tex]\times[/tex] Time taken
Distance = [tex]s\times t[/tex]
Plug in 550 for 's' and 4 for 't'. Solve for distance.
Distance = [tex](550\ mi/h)\times (4\ h)=2200\ miles[/tex]
Therefore, the distance traveled by the plane traveling at 550 mi/h in 4 hours is 2,200 miles.
