speed= distance divided by time

speed=#175/(1/2)=175xx2=350# miles per hour

#color(red)("Speed"="Distance"/"Time"#

Time taken to complete the journey #=30# mins

Distance#=175# miles

To calculate the speed, we use the formula:

#color(red)("Speed"="Distance"/"Time"#

In this case, #"Speed"=175/30"miles/min"#

#color(magenta)(=>5.83" miles/min"# [Rounded]

#therefore# The speed of the plane is #color(magenta)(5.83 " miles/min"#

Converting the answer into the SI unit; i.e. #color(darkorange)("m/s"#

#=>5.83xx1609.34/60#

#color(purple)(=>156.37 "m/s"#
