You can put this solution on YOUR website! Two planes leave an airport at 2 pm, one flying south at 450 km/hr, the other flying north at 675 km/hr. At what time will they be 3600 km apart?
---
They are separating at a speed of (450+675) = 1125 km/hr
---
Equation:
time = distance/rate
time = 3600/1125 = 3.2 hr = 3 hr and 12 minutes
-------------
The time will be 2pm + 3hr and 12 min = 5:12 pm
