    Set up a proportion:

    17 miles in 306 minutes, write as 17/306

    X miles in 162 minutes, write as X/162

    Now set to equal and solve:

    17/306 = x/162

    Cross multiply:

    17 * 162 = 306 * x

    2754 = 306x

    Divide both sides by 306:

    x = 2754 / 306

    x = 9

    It will travel 9 nautical miles.
