Help with a physics problem?

A smaller propeller airplane can comfortably achieve a high enough speed to take off on a runway that is 1/4 mile long. A large, fully loaded passenger jet has about the same acceleration from rest, but needs to achieve twice the speed to take off. What is the minimum runway length that will serve?

Hint: you can solve this problem using ratios without having any additional information.

If you could solve and show your steps with ratios it'd be much appreciated.

    the galaxies rotate at speeds inconsistent with their obvious mass is with the aid of the fact we do see all of it. i'm bearing on it as being the theoretical dark count number. There are very solid proofs that shows that dark count number exist. One the is the inconsistent velocity of and obvious mass. dark count number makes up approximately 75% to 80% of the priority interior the Universe...
