An aircraft 200 kilometers away is flying toward an air base at 350 kilometers per hour.
\n" ); document.write( " How long will it take a plane flying from the base at 430 kilometers per hour to intercept the first aircraft?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let t = time until intercept
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "At intercept, they will have traveled a total of 200 km
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write a distance equation: Dist = speed * time
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "350t + 430t = 200
\n" ); document.write( "780t = 200
\n" ); document.write( "t = \"200%2F780\"
\n" ); document.write( "t = .2564 hrs which is .2564*60 = 15.4 minutes
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check solution by finding the dist of each aircraft:
\n" ); document.write( ".2564*350 = 89.74 km
\n" ); document.write( ".2564*430 = 110.25
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "total dist =199.99 ~ 200 km \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
