Question 1048674: Two planes, which are 2660 miles apart, fly toward each other. Their speeds differ by 65 mph. If they pass each other in 4 hours, what is the speed of each? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Think of this as one of the planes standing
still and the other one flying at the sum of their speeds
---------------------
Let the speed of the slower DISABLED_event_one=
The speed of the faster DISABLED_event_one=
---------------------------------------
and
The speed of the slower plane is 300 mi/hr
The speed of the faster plane is 365 mi/hr
---------------------------------------
check answer: mi
and mi
and mi
OK
