Subtract the time difference of 11:15 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. to get the number or hours, which is 2hours and 15 minutes.
convert 2hours and 15 minutes into decimal; which is 2.25 hours.
Multiply 2.25 hours to 900 km/hr to cancel the ‘hours’ and retain the ‘km’.
2.25 * 900 is 2025.
The plane will travel 2025 km from 11:15 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on the same day
