So first calculate the time between the plane flied over the Air Force Bases (AFB) and Navy Base Station (NBS):
(time passed Air Force Bases) - (time passed Air Force Bases) = 10:32 - 10:20 = 12 mins
Since we know the distance that plane travel from AFB to NBS is 120 miles and the plane traveled that distance within 12 minutes.
We have
120 miles / 12 minutes = 10 miles / minute
Calculate it into miles per hour (60 minutes):
10 miles/minute x 60 minutes = 600 miles per hour.
