Question 1124923: Problem Page
Two jets leave an air base at the same time and travel in opposite directions. One jet travels 85mi/h slower than the other. If the two jets are
8334 mi apart after 6 hours, what is the rate of each jet? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Think of this as one jet not moving and the other
Flying at the sum of their speeds
Let = the speed of the faster jet = the speed of the slower jet
———————
Slower jet: 652 mi/hr
Faster jet: 737 mi/hr
