You can put this solution on YOUR website! A private airplan leaves an airport and flies due south at 192 km/h. Two hours later a jet leaves the same airport and flies due south at 960 km/h. When wll the jet overtake the plane?
--------------------
The 1st plane is 384 km away (192*2)
The 2nd plane gains on the 1st at 768 km/hr (960 - 192)
384/768 = 0.5 hours after the jet leaves
