two planes leave montreal at the same time to fly to chicago. one plane is traveling at 720km/h and the other at 750km/h. the faster plane arrives four minutes earlier than the other what is the distance between montreal and chcago?
--------------------------------
Fast plane DATA:
rate = 750 km/hr ; distance = x km ; time = d/r = x/750 hrs
----
Plow Plane DATA:
rate = 720 km/hr ; distance = x km; time = d/r = x/720 hrs
------
Equation:
time - time = 4/60 hr.
----
x/720 - x/750 = 1/15 hr
----
15*750x - 15*720x = 720*750
----
30*15x = 720*750
x = 24*50
x = 1200 km
