.
P=rate of plane
.
2070mi/P=240mi/(P-366mph)
(240mi)P=(2070mi)(P-366mph)
(240mi)P=(2070mi)P-(757620mi^2/hr)
(-1830mi)P=-757620mi^2/hr
P=414mi/hr
.
ANSWER: The rate of the plane was 414 miles per hour.
.
Car's rate=C=P-366mph=414mph-366mph=48mph
The car's rate is 48 miles per hour.
.
(2070mi)/(414mph)=(240mi)/(48mph)
5 hours=5 hours
