Two planes just took off from Boston, MA. The first plane is traveling 2.5 times as fast as the second plane. After traveling in the same direction for 5 hours, they are 735 miles apart. What is the average speed of each plane? (Hint: Since they are traveling in the same direction, the distance between them will be the difference of their distances.)

Answer:

Plane 1:  rate = 245 mph

Plane 2:  rate = 98 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Plane 2:  Let r = rate

                    d = 5r

Plane 1:    2.5r = rate

                    d = 5(2.5r)

5(2.5r) - 5r = 735

12.5r - 5r = 735

7.5r = 735

r = 98
