Here it is...Math Question Number Two...Second Week

A 737 flies approximately 455 Nautical miles/ hour. One nm=6000 feet. If we go from Houston to Los Angeles, using the back of your workbooks, how long should the flight take?


If you have a tail wind of 100 nm/hr, how long would the flight take then? (remember does a tailwind make the airplane go faster or slower)

If we were driving a car at an average speed of 60 mph (this is measured statute miles which equals 5280 feet), how long would it take you to travel the same distance?
