Question 720876: 2 planes took off from Milwaukee. First plane is traveling 3 times as fast as the second plane. After traveling the same direction for 2 hours they are 368 miles apart. Whats the average speed of each plane. Answer by josgarithmetic(39616) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Which Plane___________rate______________time________________distance
First Fast____________3r________________2___________________3r*2
Second Slower__________r________________2___________________r*2
Their Difference________________________2___________________368
One plane went farther than the other creating distance between them of 368 miles. The difference from "distance" column expressions is . Obviously showing the subtraction of the slower plane distance from the faster plane distance is most sensible. Solve for r. Compute 3r.
