Ответ:
They will meet in 1.866 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is actually quite a simple question once we think about it in a different way.
Instead of thinking of two different planes that are going at two different speeds, think of it like this: the distance between the two planes is decreasing by 670mph (250mph + 420 mph).
Note: miles per hour is equivalent to miles/hour (miles divided by hours or miles over hours)
670m/h becomes our new rate. The rate the distance between the planes is decreasing.
Now, if the distance between them is 1250 miles, how long until they meet?
If we have miles and multiply it by hours/miles, the miles cancel out and you are left with hours.
We have miles (1250) and miles/hours (670). If we multiply these we get units of miles^2 / hours which is not what we want.
we need to multiply 1250 miles by something with the units of hours/miles.
It turns out that the reciprocal of miles/hours is hours/miles
That means we need to multiply 1250 miles by the reciprocal of 670 miles/hours
Note: the reciprocal of a fraction is the fraction flipped around. 1/2 becomes 2/1, reciprocal of 3/5 is 5/3, etc...
the reciprocal of 670 miles/hours = 1/670 miles/hours
Multiplying 1250 miles by 1/670 miles/hours is the SAME as
dividing the number of miles(1250m) by the rate(670m/h)
1250m / 670m/h = 1250m x 1/670 x h/m = 1.866 h = 1.866 hours (the miles cancel out)
Note: I explained it so you know why dividing 1250miles by 670mph gives you hours. Once you understand why, all you need to do in the future is divide the distance by the rate and you get time. Distance / rate = time
