Question 109925
Two missiles are traveling toward each other, one at 9,000 mph, the other at 21,000 mph. They start 1317 miles apart. How far apart are they one minute before they collide?
:
All you need to do here is find out how far you can go in 1 min at 30000 mph:
Dist = speed * time
Time is {{{1/60}}} of an hour
:
Dist = {{{30000/60}}} = 500 mi apart
