The speed of the plane will be equal to 240 Mph.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

Speed is defined as the ratio of the time distance travelled by the body to the time taken by the body to cover the distance.

Given that:-

  • Mattie Evans drove 350 miles in the same amount of time that it took a turbo propeller plane to travel 1200 miles.
  • The speed of the plane was 170 mph faster than the speed of the car.

The speed of the plane will be calculated as:-

Let the speed of the car will be x mph so the speed of the plane will be

(x + 170)

Now time for the plane:-

Tp = Dp / Sp

Tp = 1200 / (x+170)

Now time for the car:-

Tc = Dc / Sc

Tc = 350 / x

It is given that time taken by both the plane and the car are equal:-

Tp  =  Tc

1200 / x+170 = 350 / x

1200x = 350x +  59500

850x  = 59500

x  =  59500 / 850

x  =  70mph

The speed of the plane will be calculated By:-

Sp = x + 170 = 70 + 170 = 240 Mph

Therefore the speed of the plane will be equal to 240 Mph.
