A plane loaded with cargo travels 2000 miles at an average speed of 400 Miles per hour. On the return trip on the same route it travels at an average speed of 480 miles per hour. How much quicker was the return trip

Explanation:

Time taken by the Cargo plane while it is flying towards the target

Difference = 1.83 hours

Explanation:

Let the two trips be A and B respectively.

Given the following data;

Distance A = 2000 miles

Speed A = 400 miles

Distance B = 2000 miles

Speed B = 480 miles per hour

To find the time spent;

a. For trip A.

Time A = distance A/speed A

Time A = 2000/400

Time A = 5 hours

b. For trip B.

Time B = distance B/speed B

Time B = 2000/480

Time B = 4.17 hours

Next, we would find the difference between the two trips.

Difference = Time A - Time B

Difference = 5 - 4.17

Difference = 1.83 hours

Therefore, the return trip was much quicker by 1.83 hours.
