At a particular speed, a jumbo jet can travel its own length in 20 seconds.
Let the length of the jet be "x":
x = 20r ft
---------------------------


At this ame speed, the jumbo jet taxied completedly past a 710 foot long hanger in 70 seconds. what is the length of the jumbo jet?
710 = 70r ft
-------
x = 20r
710 = 70r
----
Divide:
x/710 = 2/7
x = 202.87 ft
