Answer:

[tex]2.95\cdot 10^3\:\mathrm{km}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance is given by [tex]D=st[/tex], where [tex]s[/tex] represents speed or rate and [tex]t[/tex] represents time.

What we're given:

  • speed of [tex]885\:\mathrm{km/h}[/tex]
  • time of [tex]3.\overline{3}[/tex] hours

Thus, the distance covered by the airplane is:

[tex]d=885\cdot 3.\overline{3}=2,950\:\mathrm{km}[/tex]

In scientific notation:

[tex]2,950\:\mathrm{km}\implies\boxed{2.95\cdot 10^3\:\mathrm{km}}[/tex]

Answer:

Distance = speed * time

The distance is:

  • 885 * 3 20/60 =
  • 885 * 3 1/3 =
  • 885 * 10/3 =
  • 2950 km
  • 2950 km = 2.95*10³ km
