Plane A is faster than plane B with a speed of 560 miles per hour compared to plane B's speed of 555 miles per hour.

To determine which plane is faster, we need to compare their speeds.

We can calculate the speed of each plane by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken.

For plane A, the speed is 2800 miles / 5 hours = 560 miles per hour.

For plane B, the speed is 3885 miles / 7 hours = 555 miles per hour.

Therefore, plane A is faster than plane B.
