***
speed at which planes are flying apart from each other=300+600=900 mph
travel time=distance/speed=2700/900=3
When will they be 2700 miles apart? 3 hrs

Don't cry guy. Wait till you get to the hard stuff. You'll be pulling out hair.
d=r*t+R*t
t will be the same for both.
2700=300*t+600*t
2700=900*t
t=3 hours
d=R*t
d=600*3
d=1800 miles at 600 kph
d=r*t
d=300*3
d=900 miles at 300 kph
