Two airplanes left the same airport traveling in opposite directions. If one airplane averages 400 miles per hour and the other airplane averages 250 miles per hour, in how many hours will the distance between the two planes be 1625 miles?
***
let x=travel time(same for both planes)
distance=speed*travel time
400x+250x=1625
650x=1625
x=2.5
In how many hours will the distance between the two planes be 1625 miles? 2.5
