Math Problem Statement
19 . In a flight of 600 km, an aircraft was slowed down due to bad weather. Its average speed for the trip was reduced by 200 km/hr and the time of flight increased by 30 minutes. Find the duration of flight.
Solution
Let the original average speed of the aircraft be km/h, and the original time of flight be hours.
Step 1: Set up equations
- The distance of the flight is 600 km.
- Original speed: km/h.
- The original time of flight would be:
- The reduced speed due to bad weather is km/h.
- The new time of flight is increased by 30 minutes (or ( \
