Speed is distance over time
miles per hour is distance over time
so if it averaged 420 miles an hour
is it not 420 miles per hour?
perhaps i am misunderstanding something?
Answer:
257.5 mph
332.5 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
The initial distance between the two planes is 960 miles, while the final distance (after t=1.5 h) is 75 miles, so the total distance covered by the two planes in 1.5h is
miles
Calling v1 and v2 the velocities of the two planes, we have the following equations:
(1)
--> velocity of plane 1 exceeds velocity of plane 2 by 75 mph
(2)
--> the total distance covered by the two planes is 885 miles (t=1.5 h is the time, and the products v1 t and v2 t represent the distance covered by each plane)
Substituting t=1.5 h, the second equation becomes:

By substituting (1) into this last equation, we find:

And substituting this back into eq.(1), we find

So, the speeds of the two planes are
257.5 mph
332.5 mph
Get n by itself in both inequalities
(This program doesn't allow for regular less than or greater than signs, so for the purposes of this problem I will be using less than or equal to (≤) and greater than or equal to (≥) signs)
Inequality 1:

Inequality 2:

Now that you have both of the n's by themselves, you can put the two inequalities together, like this

Just keep in mind that these are supposed to be regular less than signs
