I like to solve these by thinking of one plane as stationary
( maybe sitting on the runway ) and the other one
flying at the sum of their speeds.
Let the speed of the slower plane =
The moving plane will cover mi in hrs
-------------

The faster plane's speed is 355 mi/hr
The slower plane's speed is 320 mi/hr
check:

OK
