A boat and a plane leave from each of their ports going in the same direction at the same time.
They are traveling at different speeds, but both the plane and the boat maintain their own consistent speed and direction.
After a few minutes, the boat is 6 miles away from its port and the plane is 100 miles away from its port.
How many miles will the plane be from its port when the boat is 54 miles away from its port?

" After a few minutes, the boat is 6 miles away from its port and the plane is 100 miles away from its port.
How many miles will the plane be from its port when the boat is 54 miles away from its port?"
:
let p = the distance the plane traveled while the boat traveled 54
=
6p = 54 * 100
6p = 5400
p = 5400/6
p = 900 miles from it's port
