Answer:

It would take 10.25 hours to fly 82000 miles.

Explanation:

Since the distance is proportional to the time, we can create a proportion to find how many hours (t) it would hake to fly 82000 hours:

73680 miles / 9.21 hours = 82000 miles / t hours

73680/9.21 = 82000/t

(8000 = 82000/t) * t

(8000t = 82000) / 8000

t = 10.25

Thus, it would take 10.25 hours to fly 82000 miles.
