**the distance formula states that distance (d) is equal to the product of rate (r) and time (t).

which equation could be used to solve the problem?

a plane traveled at a constant rate of 500 kmph. how many hours did the plane take to travel 1700 km?

t=500/1700

t=500⋅1700

t=1700/500

t=500d⋅1700  

On the way home from visiting his family, vincent’s plane cruised at an altitude of 3.2 × 10^4 feet. he had heard that a man named felix baumgartner skydived from an altitude of 1.28 × 10^5 feet. vincent wants to know how much higher felix went on his skydiving trip. question 1 you have already seen how adding numbers works in either scientific notation or standard notation. but can you subtract numbers in scientific notation and get the same results as subtracting in standard notation? to find out, first solve vincent’s problem in standard notation. part a write the cruising altitude of vincent’s plane in standard notation.
