The question doesn't tell us in what directions the two craft head out. So we get to choose.

In order to make it as easy on ourselves as possible, we'll assume they both head out in the

same exact direction, and we also assume that both encounter the same exact wind conditions.

In other words, we slightly transform the problem, into a case of two trains on the same track.

The difference in their speeds is (320 - 280) = 40 mph, so the faster guy opens up his lead

at that rate.

They're 1,000 miles apart after (1,000 / 40) = 25 hours.

That's 11:00 AM the next day.

Ben and Jerry start out one thousand miles apart If Ben drives toward Jerry at sixty-five mph and Jerry drives toward Ben at forty-six mph how far apart will they be after four hours?

distance apart = 1000 - Jerry's distance in 4 hours - Ben's distance in 4 hours d = 1000 - 4(65) - 4(46) = 1000 - 260 - 184 = 1000 - 444 = 556 miles.

An airplane traveled 1000 miles in 3 hours and 30 minutes what was the average rate of speed in miles per hour?

3 hours and 30 minutes = 3*60+30 = 210 minutes The planes is therefore going 1000/210 = 4.761904761904762 miles in a minute This means that the plane is going at a speed of 4.761904761904762*60 = 285.7142857142857 miles an hour.
