If one plane is flying 40 mph and another plane is flying 100 mph, and they
are 200 miles apart and flying directly toward each other, in how long will the planes
meet2

Respuesta :

Answer:

i think 60 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

I just added the 100+40 then

200-140

Answer:

  1 3/7 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The planes are closing the 200 mile separation distance at a rate of (40 +100) = 140 miles per hour. The time it takes for that distance to be closed is ...

  time = distance/speed

  time = (200 mi)/(140 mi/h) = 200/140 h = 10/7 h = 1 3/7 h

The planes will meet after 1 3/7 hours, about 1 hour 25 minutes 43 seconds.
