Two planes leave an airport flying at the same rate.If the first plane flies 1.5 hours longer than the second plane and travels 2700 miles while the second plane travels only 2025 miles,

Question

for how long was each plane flying?

Answer 1

rate=distance/time

2700/*=2025/y
2700/*=2025/*-1.5,
*diferent from 0,1.5

*=6hrs & y=4.5hrs

Answer 2

Let their rate be x mph
time for first = 2700/x
time for second = 2025/x

2700/x - 2025/x = 1.5
times x
2700 - 2025 = 1.5x
x = 450
so the first flew for 2700/450 hrs or 6 hrs
a nd the 2nd flew for 2025/450 or 4.5 hrs

notice the difference is 1.5 hrs

Answer 3

Thank You! and
my answer and your answer are the same

Answer 4

It is just that your text came out weird.
What's with all the * symbols all over the place?

Answer 5

Answer 6

yup, that's what it means.
So what is " *diferent from 0,1.5 " and " 2700/*=2025/*-1.5, " ???

That's what I was objecting to.

Answer 7

excuse me
* this symbols star

Answer 8
