If two planes flew between two cities at speeds of 200 mph and 260 mph respectively.
If the slow plane required one half hours longer, how far apart of the cities
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

200*(t+0.5) = 260*t,   (t = the time spent by the faster plane)


200t + 100 = 260t,


60t = 100,


t =  of an hour = 100 minutes.


The distance =  = .
