To find the average speed of the woman's flight, we can use the formula:

\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{d}{t}
\]

### Step 1: Convert time to hours
The total time given is **18 hours 5 minutes**. We need to convert this entirely into hours:
- 5 minutes is equal to \( \frac{5}{60} \) hours.
  
\[
\text{Total time} = 18 + \frac{5}{60} = 18 + 0.0833 = 18.0833 \text{ hours}
\]

### Step 2: Calculate the average speed
Now, use the distance \( d = 2433.1 \) miles and the total time \( t = 18.0833 \) hours.

\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{2433.1}{18.0833} \approx 134.6 \text{ miles per hour}
\]

### Final Answer:
The average speed of the woman's flight was approximately **134.6 miles per hour**, rounded to the nearest tenth.

Here are five related questions you could explore:
1. How would the speed change if the time was 15 hours instead of 18 hours and 5 minutes?
2. What would the speed be if the distance was increased by 500 miles?
3. How can you convert hours and minutes into decimals quickly?
4. What is the formula for calculating average speed in general scenarios?
5. How can you calculate average speed if part of the distance was covered at a different rate?

**Tip:** When working with time, always convert minutes to hours by dividing by 60 for consistency in units.

A woman traveled 2433.1 miles in 18 hours 5 minutes. Find the average speed of her flight in miles per hour. (Change 18 hours 5 minutes into hours and use the formula d = rt.)

Learn how to calculate the average speed of a flight. In this example, a woman travels 2433.1 miles in 18 hours and 5 minutes. We convert time to hours and use the speed formula (speed = distance / time) to solve this real-world problem. Suitable for Grades 6-8 students.
