Given the statement:
An airplane flies 105 miles and 1/2 hour.
Determine how far can it fly in ¼ hours.
Solution:
To find for the distance in ¼ hours, we simply need to find the unit rate or the velocity of the airplane. To do so we need to divide the total distance by ½ hour or 0.5
= 105 miles/0.5 hour
= 210 miles/hour
Multiply 210 by ¼ to determine the distance.
=( 210 miles/hour)(¼ hour)
= 52.5 miles
Final answer:
= 52.5 miles
