How many miles does a jet plane travel in 30 seconds if its speed is 840 miles per hour?
A. 7
B. 16
C. 28
D. 32
E. 60
Solution
Correct answer: A. 7.
Distance = Speed * Time
Given that the speed of the jet plane is 840 miles per hour, and the time is 30 seconds, we need to convert the time from seconds to hours to match the speed:
30 seconds = 30/3600 = 1/120 hours
Now, we can calculate the distance:
Distance = 840 miles/hour * 1/120 hours = 7 miles
So, the jet plane travels 7 miles in 30 seconds.
