let the distance between the cities be d miles
time for plane = d/605
time for ship = d/33
solve for d
d/33 - d/605 = 104
( I got d = 3630)
A ship travels from New York to southampton, england at 33 miles per hour. A plane traveling 605 miles per hour takes 104 hours less time to make the same trip. How far apart are the two cities?
