Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Calculate Usual Speed
The usual speed of the plane can be calculated using the formula:
Usual Speed=TimeUsual Distance=3 h3952 km=1317.3 km/h
Step 2: Calculate Distance in Cloudy Skies
The distance the plane can fly in cloudy skies is given by:
Cloudy Distance=Usual Distance−Distance Reduction=3952 km−184 km=3768 km
Step 3: Calculate Speed in Cloudy Skies
The speed of the plane in cloudy skies can be calculated as:
Cloudy Speed=TimeCloudy Distance=3 h3768 km=1256 km/h
