Question 1030394: Two planes just took off from St. Louis, MO. The first plane is traveling 3 times as fast as the second plane. After traveling in the same direction for 3 hours, they are 546 miles apart. What is the average speed of each plane? (Hint: Since they are traveling in the same direction, the distance between them will be the difference of their distances.)

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Two planes just took off from St. Louis, MO. The first plane is traveling 3 times as fast as the second plane. After traveling in the same direction for 3 hours, they are 546 miles apart. What is the average speed of each plane?
let speed of first plan is x km per hours others speed will be 3x km per hours
relative speed of both plan (same direction )=3x-x=2x
distance=speed x time
546=2x
x=546/2 =273 kmph
other will be 273x3= 819 kmph
