When the jet takes off, the light plane has been in the air for 2 hours, and has covered (2 x 192) = 384 miles.

That's the light plane's lead.

The lead closes at (960-192) = 768 miles per hour.

It takes (384/768) = 1/2 hour to close the gap.

During that time, the light plane flies another (192/2) = 96 miles, , for a total of (384 + 96) = 480 miles.

Also during that time, the jet flies (960/2) = 480 miles.

The math checks. They pass. But neither pilot notices it, because the jet passes the prop-job

at the speed of sound.

A private plane leaves an airport and flies due east at 192 miles per hour Two hours later a jet leaves the same airport and flies due east at 960 miles per hour How far will the private plane fly?

If the question is asking, "How far will the private plane fly before the jet overtakes it ?" Both planes will have flown the same distance. Distance = Time (T) x Velocity. Therefore 192 x T = 960(T - 2) = 960T - 1920 768T = 1920 : T = 2.5 In 2.5 hours the private plane flies 192 x 2.5 = 480 miles. (The jet plane in 0.5 hours flies 960 x 1/2 = 480 miles)
