Accepted Answer

Welcome back. I am so glad you're here. We are given this problem a foul was flying for half an hour. So the time that it's flying is for half an hour or 0.5 hours at a rate of 296 kilometers per hour. So the rate is kilometers per hour, Calculate the distance it covered. Well, we recall from previous lessons that when we've got distance rate in time, we can use the distance formula which is distance equals rate times time. So our rate here is 296 km/h and we can plug that in for rate and that's times the time which we know is 0.5 hours and we just need to multiply them to figure out the distance while we take note here that are ours units cancel out. So our answer is going to be in kilometers because that's the only unit That is left and we take 296 times 0. and that equals 148. So the distance covered is 148 km. We look at our answer choices and that matches with answer choice. A well done. We'll catch you on the next one.
