You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Airplane A is traveling 150mph, the travel time is 2 hours, so airplane A is 300 miles from the airport because 150+150=300. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Airplane B is traveling 200mph, the travel time again is 2 hours, sp airplane B is 400 miles from the airpot because 200+200=400.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then you add the two distances together 400+300=700\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So therefore the airplanes are 700 miles apart.
