document.write( "Speed is two times as fast -----> the flying time is half as much.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, of the total 9 hours of flying time 3 hours was spent in a corporate jet and 6 hours in the smaller plane.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So the speed of the corporate jet was   = 370 mph\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "   the speed of the smaller plane was   = 185 mph\r\n" );
