ECZ 2018 · GCE Paper 1 — Earth Geometry

The distance between P and Q is 3 600 nautical miles. If an aeroplane flies from P to Q at 600 knots, how long will it take?

  • A. 6 hours
  • B. 60 hours
  • C. 6 minutes
  • D. 12 hours

Verified working — step 1

A knot is one nautical mile per hour, so time = distance ÷ speed = 3600 ÷ 600 = …
