Mattie evans drove 150 miles in the same amount of time that it took a turbopropeller plane to travel 600 miles. the speed of the plane was 150 mph faster than the speed of the car. find the speed of the plane.

The speed of the plane is:

                           200 mph

Mattie Evans drove 150 miles in the same amount of time that it took a turbopropeller plane to travel 600 miles.

Let the time taken be t.

Hence, the speed of car is: 150/t

( Since, the speed is the ratio of distance traveled to the time taken )

and the speed of plane is: 600/t

Also, it is given that:

The speed of the plane was 150 mph faster than the speed of the car.

i.e.

Hence, the speed of the plane is:

where is the figure
