    S=252t, j=672 (t-2), when the jet catches the small plane j=s so:

    672 (t-2) = 252t

    672t-1344=252t subtract 252t from both sides

    420t-1344=0 add 1344 to both sides

    420t=1344 divide both sides by 420

    t=3.2 hours (3:12)

    It will be approximately 2/3 of an hour, or about 40 minutes before the jet catches up to the plane
