The plane traveling 200 mph, started 4 hours earlier.

As at when they meet, let the 550 mph, have traveled for x hours.

The 200 mph would have traveled (x + 4) hours, since it started 4 hours earlier.

As at when they met, the distance covered is the same:

Distance = Speed * hour

550x = 200(x + 4)

550x = 200x + 200*4

550x = 200x + 800

550x - 200x = 800

350x = 800

x = 800/350

x = 16/7 hours.

The distance travelled = 550x = 550 * 16/7 = 8800/7 miles

The distance = 8800 / 7 miles  or ≈ 1257.14 miles

Hope this explains it.

The original sales price of a jacket to the original price is 3:4. The original price is $64 what is the sales price
natka813 [3]
So we need to find a number that has the same ratio to 64 as 3 has to four. We do this by diving 64 into 4:(this is 16): so the two ratios are different by 16. To find the remaining number we multiply  3 by 16: this is 48. So 48 has the same ratio to 64 as 3 has to 4.

And 48 is the answer!
