Airplane P and airplane Q fly along parallel paths each 3,000 miles long. If they start at the same time and if P flies at a constant speed of 600 miles per hour and Q flies at a constant speed of 580 miles per hour , how many miles will Q have left to fly after P completes its flight ?
------------------
Plane P takes 5 hours (3000/600)
In 5 hours, plane Q goes 2900 miles (5*580)
3000 - 2900 = 100 miles to go
------------------
PS It will take 100/580 hours, = 10 mins 21 seconds
