    A passenger plane left New York and flew east. A jet left one hour later flying at 280 km/h in a effort to catch up to the passenger plane. After flying for seven hours the jet finally caught up. Find the passenger plane’s average speed.

    Plane:

    rate = x

    time = 8 hours

    Jet:

    rate = 280 km/h

    time = 7 hours

    8x = 280 • 7

    Yes?
