Question

A jet flies 175 miles in 7 minutes. How far will the jet fly in 85 minutes?

Answer 2

2125 miles

Explanation:

Okay so to work this out we first need to find out how far the plane flies in one minute. To do this we do:

175 = 7

divide both sides by 7 to get 1 minute

25 = 1

The plane travels 25 miles in one minute.

Now to get 85 minutes we just do 25 x 85

25 x 85 = 2125

The plane travels 2125 miles in 85 minutes.

Hope this helps you :)
