Question 932030: A plane can fly 260 miles in the same time as it takes a car to go 60 miles. If the car travels 100 mph slower than the plane, find the speed of the plane.
Using r as your variable to represent the speed of the plane in miles per hour, write an equation using the information above that can be solved to find the answer to this problem.
Equation:___________
The plane flies _________ mph Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):

260r - 26000 = 60r
200r = 26000
r = 130mph, speed of plane
and...checking
260mi/130mph = 60mi/30mph = 2hr
