Which is faster between a plane flying at an altitude of 6000 feet and a plane flying at an altitude of 15000 feet if they are both using the same amount of fuel?

The higher up in the atmosphere you are, the thinner the air and therefore the less the drag on the plane. Thus if both planes' engines are under the same power (using the same amount of fuel) the plane at the higher altitude will have a faster airspeed.

Two planes are flying at the speed of sound Plane X is flying at an altitude of 6000 feet and plane Y is flying at an altitude of 15000 feet which is flying faster?
As altitude increases (to about 35,000 ft) air density, pressure and temperature all drop. As density decreases speed of sound increases, but with drop in pressure it drops; these two practically cancel each other out. As temperature drops, speed of sound drops. Thus at 15,000 ft the speed of sound is slower than at 6,000 ft so plane X is flying faster than plane Y.
What is the relationship between altitude and air pressure to explain why rescue helicopters have a difficult time flying altitude above 6000 m?
An inverse relationship.

What is the relationship between altitude and air pressure to explain why rescue helicopters have a difficult time flying at altitude over 6000m.?
The higher you are from the Earth's surface - the lower the air pressure is. Helicopters are heavy machines - requiring a huge amount of effort from the rotor blades to keep it airborn. The lower the air-pressure, the harder the rotors have to work to keep the craft flying.

A Piper Cub can cover 500 miles in the same amount of time it takes a jet plane flying 250 miles per hour faster to cover 1500 miles How fast is the Piper Cub flying?
A Piper Cub can cover 500 miles in the same amount of time it takes a jet plane flying 250 miles per hour faster to cover 1500 miles. Piper Cub is flying 125 mph.
