An airplane will shed 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.

Condition:

Airplane – 15 km in 1 minute, this is 3 times more than a helicopter

Helicopter -? km in 1 min.

How much longer is the plane’s distance? (the question can be conventionally shown with an arrow)

Decision:

If it is known that the helicopter flies 3 times less in 1 minute, then this distance is equal to:

15/3 = 5 (km).

Let’s find the difference, how much greater distance the plane flies than the helicopter:

15 – 5 = 10 (km).

Answer: the path of the aircraft, covered in 1 minute, is 10 km longer than the path of the helicopter in the same time.
