Question 1127686
Plane A flies 2125 miles in the same amount of time it takes Plane B to fly 2375 miles. Plane B is flying 50mph faster than Plane A. Find the amount of time it takes for each plane to travel their respective distances
<pre>Let time taken by each be T
Then we get the following SPEED/RATE equation: {{{matrix(1,3, "2,125"/T, "=", "2,375"/T - 50)}}}, which can be reduced to: {{{matrix(1,3, 85/T, "=", 95/T - 2)}}}
Solve this for T, the time each takes, which by the way is the same.
