A 747 jet airplane traveled 600 miles in two and a half hours if it travels at the same speed how long will it take to travel 1500 more miles?

There are a fews ways to solve this. I am going to use the distance equation

d = rt.

d = distance = 600

r = speed = ?

t = time = hours = 2.5

Lets find the rate/speed by plugging in what we know.

d = rt

600 = r2.5

600 / 2.5 = r2.5 / 2.5

240 = r

r = 240

Now we got the rate/speed we can solve our problem. It wants to kow how long it will take to travel 1500 more miles from the 600 miles that has already traveled

d = rt

d = 1500

r = 240

t = ?

1500 = 240t

1500 / 240 = 240t / 240

6.25 = t

t = 6.25.

It will take 6.25 or as fraction 6 (1/4) hours more.
