Question

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

Answer 1

Given:

A jet flies 175 miles in 7 minutes.

To find:

How far will the jet fly in 85 minutes?

Solution:

According to the given information,

Distance covered by the jet in 7 minutes = 175 miles

Using this, we get

Distance covered by the jet in 1 minutes =
`(175)/(7)` miles

Distance covered by the jet in 1 minutes =
`25` miles

Now,

Distance covered by the jet in 85 minutes =
`85* 25` miles

Distance covered by the jet in 85 minutes =
`2125` miles

Therefore, the jet flies 2125 miles in 85 minutes.
