| What is the formula for distance? |
| Answer: |
| The formula for distance is d=rt where r is the rate and t is the time. |
Solution:
| Step 1: |
|---|
| The distance formula for the plane traveling 190km/hr is . |
| Step 2: |
|---|
| The other plane starts off 780km away from the first plane. So, this plane's distance is 780-d where d is the distance of the first plane. |
| So, the distance formula for this second plane is . |
| Step 3: |
|---|
| Now, adding these two equations together, we get . So, hours. |
| Final Answer: |
|---|
| 2 hours |
