Explanation

Well done !

Explanation:

It is given that:
Distance covered by the aeroplane in 15 hours = 12,750 km.
Distance covered by aeroplane in one hour = (12,750 ÷ 15) km
We can divide 12,750 by 15 using long division method.

		8	5	0
15	) 1	2	7	5	0
	−1	2	0
			7	5
		−	7	5
			0

So, 12,750 ÷ 15 = 850.
Thus, the distance that the aeroplane covers every hour is 850 km.

Wrong answer !

The correct answer is :

850 km

Explanation :

It is given that:
Distance covered by the aeroplane in 15 hours = 12,750 km.
Distance covered by aeroplane in one hour = (12,750 ÷ 15) km
We can divide 12,750 by 15 using long division method.

		8	5	0
15	) 1	2	7	5	0
	−1	2	0
			7	5
		−	7	5
			0

So, 12,750 ÷ 15 = 850.
Thus, the distance that the aeroplane covers every hour is 850 km.
