To complete the table, we can calculate the missing values using the fact that the airplane is traveling at a constant speed. 

First, we need to determine the speed of the airplane in miles per hour. From the table, we know that in 3 hours the airplane traveled 1,650 miles. So, the speed is:

\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{1650}{3} = 550 \text{ miles per hour}
\]

Now, we can use this speed to find the missing values:

1. **Distance traveled in 2 hours**:
\[
\text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} = 550 \times 2 = 1100 \text{ miles}
\]

2. **Distance traveled in 6 hours**:
\[
\text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} = 550 \times 6 = 3300 \text{ miles}
\]

So, the completed table is:

| **Elapsed time (hours)** | **Distance traveled (miles)** |
|--------------------------|-------------------------------|
| 2                        | 1,100                         |
| 3                        | 1,650                         |
| 6                        | 3,300                         |

Would you like more details or have any questions?

Here are 5 related questions:
1. How would the distance change if the airplane traveled at 600 miles per hour?
2. If the airplane flew for 5 hours, what distance would it cover?
3. How long would it take to travel 2,200 miles at the same speed?
4. If the speed decreased by 50 miles per hour, what would the new time to travel 1,650 miles be?
5. How would the total distance be affected if the airplane flew for 10 hours at this speed?

**Tip**: Always ensure the units (like miles per hour) remain consistent when using speed and time to calculate distance!
