Question

If a jet plane is traveling 100mph faster than a propeller plane and then jet plane travels 6300 miles in 4 hours then how fast is each plane traveling

Answer 1

Hi Catol,

 

Let's look at the jet first.

 

It travels 6300 miles in 4 hours

6300/4 = 1575 mph

 

We are told the jet travels 100 mph faster than a propeller plane

 

The propeller plane travels

1575-100 = 1475 mph
