Two planes left an airport at noon One flew east at a certain speed and the other flew west at twice the speed The planes were 2700 miles apart in 3 hours How fast was each plane flying?

2700 divided by 3 = 900
airplane two flew twice as fast, so it travelled 1800miles, airplane one travelled 900 miles, both in 3 hours.
the velocity of airplane one is 900:3 = 300 miles an hour
the velocity of airplane two is 1800:3 = 600 miles an hour (twice as fast)

Two planes took off from Chicago airport flying in opposite directions one plane traveled 30 mi per hr faster than the other they were 1500 miles apart after 2 hours?
Separating speed is 750 mph. Deduct 30 and half the answer: one plane flies at 360 mph and the other at 390 mph.
Two jets leave Ontario at the same time one flying East at a speed of 20 km greater than the other which is flying West. After4 hours the planes are 6000 km apart. Find their speeds?
Suppose the one flying West goes at x kph. The other is going at (x + 20) kph. They get further apart by: x + x + 20 = 2x + 20 kph. Hence 4*(2x + 20) = 6000 So 2x + 20 = 1500 2x = 1480 x = 740 So the speeds are 740 and 760 kph.

If two planes leave the same airport at 100 pm how many muiles apart will they be at 300 pm if one travels directly north at 510 mph and the other travels directly west at 200 mph?
This is a plane geometry problem. Not plane as in airplane, but plane as in flat surface. We are looking for the hypotenuse of a right triangle. The formula for the hypotenuse is, in words because WikiAnswers doesn't much like symbols, is - hypotenuse = the square root of the sum of the squares of the two sides. The plane flying north flies at 510 mph for 2 hours or 1020 miles. The plane flying west flies at 200 mph for 2 hours or 400 miles. The hypotenuse of this triangle equals the square root of the sum of 1020 squared and 400 squared. 1020 squared is 1,040,400 and 400 squared is 160,000. Their sum is 1,200,400. So their distance apart is the square root of 1,200,400 or 1095.62767 miles. - wjs1632 -
