If a plane took 1 hour longer to travel 560 miles on the first portion of a flight than it took to fly 480 miles on the second portion,and it was going the same speed for both portions,than it must have been traveling 560-480mph, witch is 80mph. Now all you have to do is 480/80 and that is how many hours it took for the secand part, in this case, 6 hours.
