    A jet travels 832 km in 5 hours. At this rate, how far could the jet fly in 12 hours? What is the rate of speed of the jet?

    Distance = rate * time. We're given D = 832 and t = 5. Using our drt calculator, we solve or rate to get:
    r = 166.4

    The problems asks for a distance D when t = 12 hours and r = 166.4 from above. Using our drt calculator solving for d, we get:
    d = 1,996.8 km
