The distance formula states that distance (d) is equal to the product of rate (r) and time (t).

which equation could be used to solve the problem?

a plane traveled at a constant rate of 500 kmph. how many hours did the plane take to travel 1700 km?

a. t= 500/1700

b. t=500⋅1700

c. t= 1700/500

d. t= 500d⋅1700  

Option C

The equation used to solve the problem is

Solution:

Given that, A plane traveled at a constant rate of 500 kmph

To find: time taken to travel 1700 km

Also given that,

The distance formula states that distance (d) is equal to the product of rate (r) and time (t)

From given information,

rate = r = 500 kmph

distance = d = 1700 km

time taken = t = ?

Substituting the values in above formula we get,

Thus the equation used to solve the problem is

Thus option C is correct
