Variable problem

You need to calculate the flight time of an upcoming trip. You are flying from LA to Sydney, covering a distance of 7425 miles, the plane flies at an average speed of 550 miles an hour. I answered print(7245/550) But the answer somehow is incorrect

Maybe try print(float(7425/550)) Maybe it wants the answer as a float?

Hassanah is correct, it should be a float. Python automatically converts division into a float. Prem Suthar look closely at your numbers and look at what Hassanah wrote. They are different.

Wouldn't the answer be print(7245 // 550)? This way, time would be 13 hours.

Per Bratthammar The answer should be in float.

You mixed up the numbers and changed the value, it's 7425 but in the code you used 7245. Hope you see it
