Question

If an airliner is flying east at 400 miles per hour, what distance will it have travelled after 3 hours?

• A. 1,200 miles
• B. 133.33 miles
• C. 800 miles
• D. 4,000 miles

Answer 1

The correct option is A 1,200 miles

Given,
Speed of airliner = 400 miles per hour
Time taken = 3 hours

$\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$

$\therefore$ Distance travelled = Speed $\times$ Time

$=400\times 3=1200$ miles
