6. It takes a jet 2 hours to fly 1,100 miles. At this rate, how far does it fly in 8 hours?

The jet’s speed can be calculated by dividing the distance by the time taken. So, 1,100 miles divided by 2 hours equals 550 miles per hour. Now, if the jet flies for 8 hours, you simply multiply the speed (550 miles per hour) by the time (8 hours). That gives you 4,400 miles. So, in 8 hours, the jet flies 4,400 miles! Now, imagine taking that astounding journey! If you were to embark on a flight from New York to Paris at that speed, you'd get there in less than 8 hours – making dinner in Paris a reality after breakfast in New York! Aviation technology has really sped up our world.
