To find out how many minutes the flight took, we can use the formula:
\[
\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}
\]
First, we need to convert the distance into hours by using the given speed.
1. **Calculate the time in hours:**
\[
\text{Time in hours} = \frac{85 \text{ miles}}{150 \text{ mph}} = \frac{85}{150} = \frac{17}{30} \text{ hours}
\]
2. **Convert the time from hours to minutes:**
Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we multiply the time in hours by 60:
\[
\text{Time in minutes} = \frac{17}{30} \text{ hours} \times 60 \text{ minutes/hour} = \frac{17 \times 60}{30} = \frac{1020}{30} = 34 \text{ minutes}
\]
So, the flight took **34 minutes**.
