Ajet travels from chicago to kansas city at a speed of 440 knots. if it takes a plane 3 hr longer to fly from kansas city to chicago at a speed of 110 knots, what is the distance between the two cities?

d = distance between the two cities

v₁ = average speed while going from chicago to kansas city = 440 knots

t₁ = time taken to travel distance going from chicago to kansas city

time taken to travel distance going from chicago to kansas city is given as

t₁ = d/v₁

t₁ = d/440                                        eq-1

v₂ = average speed while going from kansas city to chicago = 110 knots

t₂ = time taken to travel distance going from kansas city to chicago

time taken to travel distance going from kansas city to chicago is given as

t₂ = d/v₂

t₂ = d/110                                                     eq-2

Given that :

t₂ = t₁ + 3

using eq-1  and eq-2

(d/110) = (d/440) + 3

d = 440
