To find out how long the flight took, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Rate}}
\]
In this case, the distance is 85 miles and the average rate is 150 miles per hour. First, we will calculate the time in hours:
\[
\text{Time in hours} = \frac{85 \text{ miles}}{150 \text{ mph}} = \frac{85}{150} \approx 0.5667 \text{ hours}
\]
Now, to convert hours into minutes, we multiply by 60 (since there are 60 minutes in an hour):
\[
\text{Time in minutes} = 0.5667 \times 60 \approx 34 \text{ minutes}
\]
Therefore, the flight took approximately **34 minutes**.
