Some Numerical info you must know for the test
Question 1
(1) A plane is traveling at 350knots how far did go in 90 mins ?
Solution:
distance = speed x time but if you do 350 x 90 you will get the wrong answer.
Precaution: you need to convert 90 min into hours by dividing 90 by 60 (1.5)
So your answer will be 350 x 1.5 = 525 miles ( nautical mile)
Also it’s worth knowing that
(1) to convert minutes to hours divide by 60
(2) to convert hours to minutes multiply by 60
Question 2:
An Airplane has a ground speed of 911 knots. How far will it travel in 2 hours 22 mins ?
Solution : Convert 22 mins into hours and add 2 to the result to find the time you need to use for the calculation.
So answer = 911 ( 2 + 22/60) = 2156 nautical miles approximately
