Answer

the plane will travel 170 miles per hour because you double the amount it already went because you had to double the minutes. so the answer is 170

The plane traveled 85 miles in 30 minutes.

1 hour is 60 minutes.

30 minutes x 2 = 60 minutes ( 1 hour)

85 miles x 2 = 170 miles in one hour

The speed is 170 miles per hour
