Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The plane flew 920 mi in one direction and then flew the same distance back. Therefore, the total distance flown is 2*920 = 1840 mi. When we add the distance flown on the return flight, we get 1840 + 11ebb63d_1c1a_a306_b851_59ff008420aa_TB8475_11 mi. Simplifying this expression, we get 11ebb63d_1c1a_a308_b851_cf7705c68aae_TB8475_11 mi.
