Answer:
The speed of the plane is 150 miles per hour, while the speed of the car is 50 miles per hour.
Explanation:
Since a plane can fly 450 miles in the same time it takes a car to go 150 miles, if the car travels 100 mph slower than the plane, to find the speed (in mph) of the plane the following calculation must be performed:
450 to 150 is equal to 3: 1, that is, the plane travels three times the distance of the car.
Therefore, since 100/2 x 3 equals 150, the speed of the plane is 150 miles per hour, while the speed of the car is 50 miles per hour.
