Answer:

The speed will be "144 mph".

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of the plane be "x mph".

then,

The car's speed be "x-130 mph".

According to the question,

⇒ [tex]\frac{1440}{x} =\frac{400}{x-130}[/tex]

By applying cross-multiplication, we get

⇒    [tex]1440(x-130)=400x[/tex]

⇒ [tex]1440x-187200=400x[/tex]

⇒    [tex]1440x-140x=187200[/tex]

⇒                [tex]1300x=187200[/tex]

⇒                       [tex]x=\frac{187200}{1300}[/tex]

⇒                          [tex]=144 \ mph[/tex]
