You can put this solution on YOUR website!2.5/3+1/3=y/4+1/4
(2.5+1)/3=(y+1)/4
3.5/3=(y+1)/4 cross multiply.
3(y+1)=4*3.5
3y+3=14
3y=14-3
3y=11
y=11/3 ans.
Proof:
2.5/3+1/3=(11/3)/4+1/4
3.5/3=11/3*1/4+1/4
3.5/3=11/12+1/4
3.5/3=(11+3)/12

Answer 248820 by checkley77(12569) on 2010-09-25 19:30:04 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!D=RT
D=400T FOR THE FIRST PLANE TO LEAVE.
D=500(T-1) FOR THE SECOND PLANE.
BECAUSE THE DISTANCES ARE THE SAME WE SET THESE 2 EQUATION EQUAL.
400T=500(T-1)
400T=500T-500
400T-500T=-500
-100T=-500
T=-500/-100
T=5 HOURS AFTER THE FIRST PALNE LEAVES THEY WILL MEET.
5-1=4 HOURS THE SECOND PLANE WILL BE IN THE AIR BEFORE OVERTAKING THE FIRST PLANE.
PROOF:
400*5=500(5-1)
2,000=500*4
2,000=2,000

You can put this solution on YOUR website!1/22+1/8=1/X
(8+22)/(22*8)1/X
30/176=1/X CROSS MULTIPLY.
30X=176
X=176/30
X=5.867 HOURS WORKING TOGETHER.
PROOF:
1/22+1/8=1/5.867
(8+22)/22*8=.17
30/176=.17
.17=.17
