Write an equation and find how much longer it would take to fly against the wind than
with it between New York and Los Angeles if the wind speed increases to 150 miles per
hour and the airspeed of the jet is 525 miles per hour. Round to the nearest hundredth.

Respuesta :

The time taken by the jet will be equal to 6.58 hours.

What is speed?

Speed is defined as the ratio of the time distance traveled by the body to the time taken by the body to cover the distance.

Given that:-

  • Assume that the distance between New York and Los Angeles is 2468 miles.
  • The speed of wind is 150 miles per hour.
  • The speed of the jet is 525 miles per hour.

The time taken by the jet will be calculated as:-

Average speed = 525 - 150 = 375 miles per hour.

The time is taken to cover the distance of 2468 miles will be:-

Time = 2468 / 375 = 6.58 hours.

Therefore time taken by the jet will be equal to 6.58 hours.
