The air force plane travelled for a total of 6.9 hours.

<u>SOLUTION: </u>

Given, An Air Force plane left Nairobi and flew west at an average speed of 159 mph.  A cargo plane left sometime later flying in the same direction at an average speed of 207 mph.  After flying for 5.3 hours the cargo plane caught up with the Air Force plane.  

We have to find the number of hours the Air Force plane flew before the cargo plane caught up.

Now, we know that, \text { distance travelled }=\text { speed } \times \text { time }

For air force plane \rightarrow \text { distance travelled }=159 \mathrm{x} \text { time taken by air force plane }

\text { For cargo plane } \rightarrow \text { distance travelled }=207 \times 5.3 \text { hours }

Now, when cargo plane caught the air force plane the distance travelled by the planes will be equal.

So, 159 \times \text { time taken by air force plane }=207 \times 5.3

\Rightarrow =\frac{207 \times 5.3}{159}

\Rightarrow =\frac{1097.1}{159}

Time taken by air force plane = 6.9  hrs

Tell me a fun fact about horses will give BRAINLIEST to whoever tells me something I don’t know (I have been riding for 12 years
Nonamiya [84]

Here are a few fun facts:

A 19th century horse named 'Old Billy' is said to have lived 62 years.

Horses can sleep both lying down and standing up.

Horses can run shortly after birth.

Horses have around 205 bones in their skeleton.

Horses have been domesticated for over 5000 years.

Horses use their ears, eyes and nostrils to express their mood.

Because horse’s eyes are on the side of their head they are capable of seeing nearly 360 degrees at one time.

The fastest recorded sprinting speed of a horse was 88 kph (55 mph). Most gallop at around 44 kph or 27 mph.

The Przewalski’s horse is the only truly wild horse species still in existence. The only wild population is in Mongolia. There are however numerous populations across the world of feral horses e.g. mustangs in North America.

I hope you learned something new!
