Final answer:
The speeds of the two jets are calculated by dividing the distance by the time. The speeds are 540 mph and 550 mph, respectively, thus they are not equivalent.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine if the rates of the two jets are equivalent, we need to calculate the speed, or rate, of each jet by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken. For the first jet, we divide 3240 miles by 6 hours to get 540 miles per hour. For the second jet, we divide 1100 miles by 2 hours to get 550 miles per hour.
Since 540 miles per hour does not equal 550 miles per hour, the rates of the two jets are not equivalent.
