How would you solve a word problem using the formula (d=rt)?? An example: in 1.3 hours, a pilot flew a twin-engine propeller plane 403 miles. What was the average speed of the aircraft? a. 310 mph b. 313 mph or c. 303 mph Dont have to have the answer just need the steps to solve the formula.

Solution

You already have the apropriate formula. And you have the given values for d=403 and t=1,3.
Now solve the formula for r. Since we are looking for the speed of the aircraft.
d=rt , r=d/t Now you only need to substitute the variables for the given values.
r=403/1,3
r=310
So, the speed of the aircraft is 310mph. Answer a. is correct
