Question 1
(1) A plane is traveling at 350knots how far did go in 90 mins ?
Solution:
distance = speed x time but if you do 350 x 90 you will get the wrong answer.
Precaution: you need to convert 90 min into hours by dividing 90 by 60 (1.5)
So your answer will be 350 x 1.5 = 525 miles ( nautical mile)
Also it’s worth knowing that
(1) to convert minutes to hours divide by 60
(2) to convert hours to minutes multiply by 60
Question 2:
An Airplane has a ground speed of 911 knots. How far will it travel in 2 hours 22 mins ?
Solution : Convert 22 mins into hours and add 2 to the result to find the time you need to use for the calculation.
So answer = 911 ( 2 + 22/60) = 2156 nautical miles approximately
Or there is another possible solution: you know that the plane is travelling at 350 knots so in 60 minutes it's travelling 350 nautical miles; the half of 350 is 175 (30 minutes is an half hour, big surprise) so just do some quick math and voila... As I know there are 4 possible answers so you do not even have to do very exact calculates.
It's true for the second example too: speed=911 knots for 2 hours=1822 miles + 22 minutes (which is 1/3 hour, so the 30% of 911 is around 303-304) so all you have to do in your head is not too complicated: adding them! And you will be very happy to finish the math part before everybody else.
And everybody has to watch out: there might be funny switches between nautical and "normal" miles.

Absolutely!! but the basic principles remain the same - find examples below:
An a/c is flying at 540mph at FL320, and starts descending at 800feet per minute. How many miles will it travel before it reaches FL250?
Ok, work out the time first, FL320 (32,000 ft) to FL250 (25,000 ft) is 7000 ft. Divided by 800 ft per minute descent is 8.75 minutes. 540 mph is 9 miles a minute (540/60), so distance would be 9*8.75 = 78.75 miles.
First work out how long it will take to descend to the flight level shown:
The aircraft will descent 7,000ft at 800fpm so it will take 8 min 45 sec.
Now you have to work out how fat it'll travel in 8min45sec (or 8.75)
So 540 (speed) / 60(minutes) = 9miles per minute
The aircraft will travel 9 miles across the ground every minute.
so 9 x 8.75= 78.75 nautical miles (nm)
remember "distance over speed times time"

Aircraft 40 nautical miles away, at 30,000 ft descending at 3000ft per minute and travelling at 240 knots.. can it make it? 30000/3000=10 minutes 240 knots is 4 miles per min distance is 10*4 = 40 mins 240/60=4 4 miles per min so 4*10 = 40 miles
-An a/c is flying at 540mph at FL320, and starts descending at 800feet per minute. How many miles will it travel before it reaches FL250?
-Aircraft 40 nautical miles away, at 30,000 ft descending at 3000ft per minute and travelling at 240 knots.. can it make it?
240 knots = 4 miles per minute, which means 10 minutes to get the 40 miles to the airport.
3000 feet per minute for 10 minutes means a descent of 30,000 feet. He could make it.
-a/c doing 420 knots/mph, how far will it fly in 20mins...
-a/c flies 40 miles in 10 mins, what speed is it doing...
-a/c needs to travel 120 miles, is doing 480mph, how long will it take...
-If a/c flies at 420kts for 40 mins how far will it travel?
-If a/c flies 60 miles in 10 mins how fast is it moving?
-If point A and point B are 50 miles apart and a/c is doing 200kts how long will it take?
