At noon, a cargo plane leaves Angama airport and heads towards Bamburi 500 km away at 180 km/h. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "At 1.00pm the plane has traveled 180 kms\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "At 1.00 pm, a jet takes off from Angama and flies on the same course at 450 km/h.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The distance to overtake is 180 kms\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The effective speed = 450-180 = 270 km/h ( Since both are flying in the same durection)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Time = distance /speed \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "=180/270= 2/3 hour \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The jet overtakes the cargo plane after 40 minutes\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " What time will the jet overtake the cargo plane?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The jet will overtake the cargo plane at 1:40 pm.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
