Answer by JulietG(1812) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
In 9 minutes, plane A travels *9, or 2*9, or 18 miles [60 minutes in an hour; you're finding how fast it travels in one minute, so mph divided by minutes]
In 9 minutes, plane B travel *9, or 3*9, or 27 miles
How many miles together? (Because they are traveling away from each other, add)
18 + 27 = 45
