An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) carries 45 gallons of fuel. It burns fuel at a rate of 3 gph (gallons/hour) and flies at a speed of 160 mph (miles/hour). We want to fly it to a location X, fly around the area for 1 hour, and then fly it back to the launching point. The greatest # of miles location x can be is 1120 miles
How far away can location X be if we want the UAV to arrive back home with a fuel reserve of 0.5 hour?
