Variable problem

Question

You need to calculate the flight time of an upcoming trip. You are flying from LA to Sydney, covering a distance of 7425 miles, the plane flies at an average speed of 550 miles an hour.

I answered
print(7245/550)
But the answer somehow is incorrect

Answer 1

Maybe try print(float(7425/550))

Maybe it wants the answer as a float?

Answer 2

Hassanah is correct, it should be a float. Python automatically converts division into a float.

Prem Suthar look closely at your numbers and look at what Hassanah wrote.
They are different.

Answer 3

Auricelio

Answer 7

Hello,

Is it ok if you could put a link to your code? Also do you know what the output should be?

Answer 8

I cannot link as it is an part of lesson
And i searched about the code answers and i get the same code which i wrote , but its wrong Hassanah

Answer 9

Wouldn't the answer be

print(7245 // 550)?

This way, time would be 13 hours.

Answer 10

Per Bratthammar

Answer 13

You're welcome Prem Suthar!

Answer 14

Jay Take the course buddy

Answer 15

Jay, as u were asking so politely:

Theres multiple courses:
- Python for beginners
- Core python

Teaching you coding in chat wont work, at least not for me.

Answer 16

Ausgrindtube
Yeah , he is correct thanks for the effort

Answer 17

BALAJI A
Uhh , yeah it's correct , but it could be simply done in one line.

Answer 18

7245 is in your answer, but 7425 is in the task

Answer 19

You mixed up the numbers and changed the value, it's 7425 but in the code you used 7245.
Hope you see it
