Question 700160: Two planes which are 3260 miles apart,fly toward each other. Their speeds differ by 55 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 one plane as being stationary and
the other plane approaching at the sum of their speeds.
Let = the speed of the slower plane = the speed of the faster plane
Their speeds are 380 mi/hr and 435 mi/hr
check: mi mi mi
OK
