Question 182218: Two planes leave an airport at 12:00 noon, if the east-bound plane flies at 560 mph and the west-bound planes flies at 500 mph, at what time will they be 2,000 miles apart? Answer by checkley77(12569) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 560x+500x=2,000
1060x=2,000
x=2000/1060
x=1.88679 hours or they'll be 2,000 miles apart @ 1:53.20 min.
