Algebra.Com's Answer #632369 by fractalier(6550)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Rate times time equals distance...or rt = d... \n" ); document.write( "Your would have to add the distances each flies to find out when they will be 1000 miles apart...only choice A makes any sense here. \n" ); document.write( " |
