Given: A 747 boeing jet is flying from new york city to hong kong, the plane travels at an average speed of 715 mph. the distance from new york to hong kong is 8,054 miles.

To Find: How long is the flight from new york to hongkong.

Solution:

Average Speed of boeing during the flight = [tex]715[/tex][tex]\text{mph}[/tex]

Distance between newyork city and hongkong = [tex]8054 \text{miles}[/tex]

Now,

we know that

[tex]\text{distance}=\text{speed}\times\text{time}[/tex]

so,

[tex]\text{time}=\frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}}[/tex]

on putting values in the equation

[tex]\text{time}=\frac{8054}{715}[/tex]

[tex]\text{time}=11.26\text{hours}[/tex]

Hence the duration of flight between newyork and hongkong is [tex]11.26[/tex] hours, the correct answer will be option C. [tex]8054[/tex] divided by [tex]715[/tex]
