They would have traveled the same distance, let that distance be x km
time for jet = x/900
time for plane = x/180
x/180 - x/900 = 2
solve for x
hint: multiply each term by 900 , the LCD
An ordinary plane leaves an airport and flies due west at 180kph. Two hours later, a jet leaves the same airport and flies due west at 900kph. How far from the airport will the jet overtake the ordinary plane?
