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 = [tex]\dfrac{175}{7}[/tex] miles
Distance covered by the jet in 1 minutes = [tex]25[/tex] miles
Now,
Distance covered by the jet in 85 minutes = [tex]85\times 25[/tex] miles
Distance covered by the jet in 85 minutes = [tex]2125[/tex] miles
Therefore, the jet flies 2125 miles in 85 minutes.
