SOLUTION: An airplane is flying at a speed of 500 km/h when it encounters a jet stream moving in the same direction at 150 km/h. If the plane flies with the jet stream, how much farther will

Question 809926: An airplane is flying at a speed of 500 km/h when it encounters a jet stream moving in the same direction at 150 km/h. If the plane flies with the jet stream, how much farther will the plane travel in 1.5 h

s = d / t
d = s * t
---
plane in still air
500 * 1.5 = 750 km
---
plane in jet stream
(500 + 150) * 1.5 = 975 km
Answer:
975 - 750 = 225 km farther in jet stream as opposed to in still air
