An airline states that an airplane flight between two cities takes 2.5 hours. The airline also says that the actual flying time can change by up to 15% of that amount. What are the shortest and longest times for the airplane flight? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of an hour.

Enter the correct answers in the boxes.

The shortest time is 2.1 hours and the longest time is 2.9 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the amount of time if it increases by 15%:

2.5(1.15)

= 2.875

= 2.9

Next, find the amount of time if it decreases by 15%:

2.5(0.85)

= 2.125

= 2.1

So, the shortest time is 2.1 hours and the longest time is 2.9 hours

step-by-step explanation :

we know that

the measurement of the outer angle is the semi-difference of the arcs which comprises

in this problem

m< xzy is the outer angle

substitute the values

the measure of angle xoy is equal to
