Question

It takes Jane 65 minutes to fly from Dallas, TX to San Antonio, TX on a commercial airline. She flew a total of 248 miles. Given this information, how long would it take for Jane to fly from San Antonio to Houston, which is 190 miles, if she flies at the same rate? Round to the nearest minute.

Answer 1

50 minutes

Explanation:

The rate is the same, so the time is proportional to the distance:

time to Houston = (65 min)(190/248) ≈ 49.8 min ≈ 50 min

It would take Jane 50 minutes to fly 190 miles.
