180 NM at 120 knots

180 NM at 120 kt takes 180 / 120 = 1.5 hours, or 1 hour 30 minutes. At 100 kt, the same distance takes 1.8 hours.

The distance, speed and time entries generate separate rearrangements of the formula. They need not describe one consistent trip unless you make the inputs agree.

Formula and method

Distance = speed × time. Rearranging the same relationship gives time = distance ÷ speed and speed = distance ÷ time.
