Jake is flying his helicopter on a trip from the airport to his secret hideout. If he flies at
140 miles per hour, the trip takes 3.2 hours. How long will the trip take if he flies at 160 miles per
hour?
So if he flew 140 mph and his trip took 3.2 hours, he went 140(3.2) = 448 miles Now if he flies at 160 mph and needs to go 448 miles: 160x=448; divide both sides by 160 to solve for x and you get x = 2.8 hours
