Think of this as one of the planes standing
still and the other one flying at the sum of their speeds
---------------------
Let the speed of the slower DISABLED_event_one=
The speed of the faster DISABLED_event_one=
---------------------------------------

and

The speed of the slower plane is 300 mi/hr
The speed of the faster plane is 365 mi/hr
---------------------------------------
check answer:

mi
and

mi
OK
