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.

Calculate and output the total flight time in hours.

Hint
The result should be a float.

Answer 1

In order to solve the problem, you first need to know the formula for rate, distance, and time. (**note rate is also know as speed**)

Rate * Time = Distance
Miles / Hour * Hour = Miles

Time = Distance / Rate

Step One: Create 3 Variables

distance = 7425
rate = 550
time = distance / rate

Step Two: Print Result

***Optional*** Turn time into a float (decimal) using float function float()

print(time)
or
print(float(time))

Step Three: Run! Results should say 13.5.

Answer 2

time = speed / distance

Speed is given in hour so you have to convert in miles / minutes.
