An airplane flies 15 km in one minute, this is 3 times more than a helicopter. Find out how many more kilometers an airplane flies than a helicopter in 1 minute. A task in three steps.

1.Let’s find how many kilometers a helicopter flies in 1 minute, if it is known that it flies 3 times less than an airplane:
15/3 = 5 km.
2. Let us subtract from the distance that the aircraft flies in 1 minute the distance that the helicopter flies in 1 minute:
15 – 5 = 10 km.
Answer: in 1 minute the plane flies 10 km more than a helicopter flies in 1 minute.
