Question 235562: How many minutes will it take an airplane flying at 370mph to intercept another airplane that is 95 miles away if the second airplane is heading toward the first at 200mph? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! How many minutes will it take an airplane flying at 370mph to intercept another airplane that is 95 miles away if the second airplane is heading toward the first at 200mph?
----------------------------
The rate difference = 370-200 = 170 mph
-------------------------
The time to close a 95 mile gap is 95/170 = 0.5588 hrs.
0.5588 hrs = (0.5588*60 min) = 33.53 minutes
