Question 1041911: An SAA plane and a BA flight take off at the same time from points that are 1 275 km apart. They fly in a direct route towards each other. They cross at x hours.
If the BA plane flies 225 km/h, how far will it fly in x hours? 225 x km
If the SAA plane flies 200 km/h, how far will it fly in x hours? 200 x km
What expression expresses the relation between the results of ‘a’ and ‘b’ and the 1275 km? 200x = 225x = 1275
Solve this equation and find how long it takes SAA and BA planes to cross flight paths.

When they cross flight paths, assuming they meet each other, then you add velocities:
225n+200n=1275
425n=1275
n=3
They cross flight-paths in 3 hours. ☺☺☺☺
