Brainlies a plane can fly 11 miles per minute. the plane will fly 6 trips, and each trip is 500 miles. how many hours will the plane fly? show your work to receive full credit. (10 points)

So, we are given the speed in mi/min. We want to convert this to mi/hr. We can do this through cross multiplication.

(11 miles/1min) * (60min/hr) = 660 mi/hr

Now, we need to find the total distance flown:
TD= 6 trips*(500 miles/1 trip) = 3,000 mi

Lastly, we find total time using our converted speed and total distance.

speed = (total distance (in miles))/(total time (in hours))

660mi/hr= 3000mi / t
660t=3000
t=3000/660
t= 4.54 hrs

The plane will fly a total of about 4 and a half hours.
