Answer:
The key to this question is converting all the mass units to the same unit and adding them all up.
The only value that isn't consistent with the other units is 450 gm or grams.
Recall that 1 gram is equal to 0.001 kilo grams. So if you want to convert grams to kilograms you would multiply that amount by 0.001 or 1/1000
Now let's add up all the masses.
(Now a few footnotes here, that I considered but wasn't sure about. The answer asks for weight, but you're only given mass to work with. That would be fine, if the question asked you to convert it to SI weight units like Newtons, but there's no mention of that. And also I'm not sure if the question requires significant digits. But I'll continue the answer if you think so)
To convert this into weight in Newtons, multiply by 9.81 m/s^2

We can find the height of the altitude by the ratio of sin. See my attachment.
sin of angle = side in front of the angle / hypotenuse
sin x = height/distance
If the two pilot is rising in an hour, then the first distance is 400 miles, the second distance is 300 miles.
Find the height of first pilot
height/distance = sin x
height/400 = sin 30°
height = sin 30° × 400
height = 1/2 × 400
height = 200
Find the height of second pilot
height/distance = sin x
height/300 = sin 40°
height = sin 40° × 300
height = 0.642 × 300
height = 192
So the first pilot traveling 400 mph with 30° is more quickly to reach high altitude than the second pilot traveling 300 mph with 40°
