===========
To find miles per minute, divide the miles by the minutes.
------
Many factors are not mentioned. Was is 70 miles over the ground? If so, the wind speed and direction have to be considered.
----------
If it covered 70 miles over the ground in 20 minutes, its GROUNDSPEED was 70/20 miles/minute. No way to know the airspeed.
----------
People who don't know what they're talking about should not attempt to write math problems. Or anything else.
