Los Angelas Pacific time 8:15
Philadelphia Eastern time 11:15
Explain the steps you would take in order to find the time the plane arrives in Philadelphia.Use words, numbers, and symbols in your explanation.What facts do you need to know to find the time the plane arrives in Philadelphia?distance = rate * time
time = distance / rate
time = 2700 miles / 540 mph = 5 hours
Time in LA = 1pm
Time in PA when the plane arrives = 4pmWhat facts do you need to know to find the time the plane arrives in Philadelphia?First, find the total length of time for the flight. 2700 miles divided by 540 miles per hour equals 5 hours, the flight time. So when it arrives in Philly it'll be 1:00 P.M. L.A. time. Now, add 3 hours since it's in Philly. It'll be 4:00 PM.What facts do you need to know to find the time the plane arrives in Philadelphia?You'd need:
Departure time
Distance flown
Speed
Time Zones(!!)
The plane files 2700 miles at 540 mph:
2700/540 = 5 hours flying time.
LA is in Pacific, Philly is Eastern - 3 time zones, so:
5 + 3 = 8; if the plane leaves LAX at 0815, it would land in Philadelphia at 16:15 (4:15 PM Eastern).
Hope this helps!What facts do you need to know to find the time the plane arrives in Philadelphia?
Since distance = rate times time and the plane travels 2700 miles at 540 mph, you know (by dividing) that the plane traveled for 5 hours. It left LA at 8:00 am, so it arrived at 1:00 pm (LA time). BUT Philadelphia time is 3 hours later, so it arrived at 4:00 pm Philadelphia time.
