    Need to work out the time and distance

    it flew each segment.

    2100/500=4.2 hrs

    400 km for 3 hrs = 1200km

    total distance = 2100 + 1200 + 400 = 3700km

    av speed is 440km/h so total time travelled is 3700/440 = 8.40909hrs so flew last distance in 8.4909-4.2-3=1.20909hrs

    400km in 1.20909hrs

    =330.827km/hr

    which means I've read question wrong
