Calculate Flight Duration: 900 km/h Speed from Israel to USA (10,853 km)

Question

An aeroplane flies at a speed of 900 km/h.

The distance between Israel and the United States is 10,853 km.

How long will the flight take?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To determine how long the flight will take, we need to use the formula for calculating time when distance and speed are given:

  • Formula: Time=DistanceSpeed \text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}

Let's apply the given values to this formula:
- Distance (D D ) = 10,853 10,853 km
- Speed (S S ) = 900 900 km/h

Substitute these values into the formula:

Time=10,853 km900 km/h \text{Time} = \frac{10,853 \text{ km}}{900 \text{ km/h}}

Perform the division:

Time=12.058888 hours \text{Time} = 12.058888\text{ hours}

Rounding this number to two decimal places, we obtain:

Time12.06 hours \text{Time} \approx 12.06\text{ hours}

Thus, the time taken for the flight is approximately 12.06 12.06 hours.

The answer corresponds to choice 2 2 : 12.06 12.06 hours.

Answer

12.06 12.06 hours
