Question

Two jets on parallel flight paths pass one another in the air. One jet is heading from Maui to Los Angeles and the other is heading from Los Angeles to Maui. The distance from Los Angeles to Maui is about 2,500 miles. The average speed of the flight from Maui is 500 miles per hour, and the average speed of the flight from Los Angeles is 550 miles per hour. Approximately how long will it take the jets to pass each other in the air, and approximately how far outside Los Angeles will they be?

Answer 1

a. The planes will pass by each other 1.1 hours after they leave their airports, about 550 miles from Los Angeles.
b. The planes will pass by each other 1.1 hours after they leave their airports, about 600 miles from Los Angeles.
c. The planes will pass by each other 2.4 hours after they leave their airports, about 1,200 miles from Los Angeles.
d. The planes will pass by each other 2.4 hours after they leave their airports, about 1,300 miles from Los Angeles.

Answer 4

hello

Answer 5

who called me

Answer 6

ok sso

Answer 7

first letsmake equations for each plane

Answer 8

I did. Justsmile needs help, but I don't know how to do this. Good luck! :)

Answer 9

then we will graph the equations ok

Answer 10

so the plane that goes 500 miles per hour will reach its destination in 5 hours and the other one will reach its destination in about 4.5 hours

Answer 11

Ok , whats next

Answer 12

umm loll i really dont know

Answer 13

oh

Answer 14

lemme think a sec please i think i got it

Answer 15

secret any tips

Answer 16

whats the name of the chapter just smile

Answer 17

Solving Rate Problems

Answer 18

ohhhhh ok

Answer 19

is it flvs

Answer 20

Whats that ?

Answer 21

ok so rate *time = distance

Answer 22

we knw the rate of both planes and the time they travel

Answer 23

Ok , now what do we do

Answer 24

ok so one travels .5 miles per hour faster than the other one

Answer 25

yeah

Answer 26

lol im so sorry im cluelesss
