Returning multiple outputs of a single line based on previous repeated lines

Hello,
I am trying to return a time multiple times from a file that has varying output just before the time instance, i.e.

Code:
cat jumped
cat jumped 
cat jumped
time = 1.1
cat jumped
cat jumped
time = 1.2
cat jumped
cat jumped
time = 1.3

In this case i would like to output a time.txt file which would show
Code:
1.1
1.1
1.1
1.2
1.2
1.3
1.3

My current command only returns the single instance of the time result. Any help in returning the desired result would be great.

Note that i have tried both

Code:
awk '/time/ { time = $3 }; {print time };' inputfile >& time.txt

and the more simple,

Code:
grep 'time' inputfile | cut -d' ' -f3 >& time.txt

produced on standard output.  The formatting commands are  listed
