Question 1037886: a lady traveled 1350 miles by commerical jet from place A to B. she than traveled an additonal 600 miles on a private propeller plane from place B to C. if the speed of the jet was 3 times the speed of the propeller plane and the total time in air was 5 hours, determine the speed of each plane. Answer by jorel555(1290) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let r be the speed of the propeller plane. The jets speed would be 3r. So:
1350/3r+600/r=5
1350+1800=15r
r=210 mph
3r=630 mph!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
