Let's convert the second time into minutes. 5 hours corresponds to [tex]5 h \cdot 60 m/h =300 m[/tex] So the second time is [tex]t_2 = 5 h 45 m = 300 m + 45 m = 345 m[/tex]
We can now solve the problem by using a simple proportion. We know that the plane takes 75 minutes to fly 930 miles, so the distance covered in 345 minutes is given by [tex]930 miles : 75 min = x : 345 min[/tex] [tex]x= \frac{930 miles \cdot 345 min}{75 min} =4278 miles [/tex]
