Answer:

The answer is B.

Explanation:

The time traveled to travel from Madrid to Paris by plane is 1.4 hours. Hence, option B is correct.

What is speed?

Speed is the distance traveled by an object in a unit of time. The speed can be given as:

[tex]\rm Speed=\dfrac{Distance}{Speed}[/tex]

The time required to travel from Madrid to Paris, a distance of 721 miles at the speed of 500 mph is given as:

[tex]\rm 500\;mph=\dfrac{721\;miles}{time}\\\\Time=\dfrac{721\;miles}{500\;mph}\\\\Time=1.4\;hour[/tex]

Thus, the time traveled to travel from Madrid to Paris by plane is 1.4 hours. Hence, option B is correct.
