Answer:

The time that the plane will fly is:

             3 hours and 26 minutes or   3.43 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed  of a plane is: 7 miles per minute.

Also, the plane will fly 8 trips, and each trip is 810 miles.

This means that the total miles that is traveled by the plane is:

8×180=1440 miles.

Now we are asked to find the time that the plane will take:

We know that:

[tex]Speed=\dfrac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]

Hence,

[tex]Time=\dfrac{Distance}{Speed}[/tex]

Hence, we get:

[tex]Time=\dfrac{1440}{7}\\\\i.e.\\\\Time=205.7143\ minutes[/tex]

which is approximately equal to 206 minutes

            Hence, the answer is:  3 hours and 26 minutes or 3.43 hours.
