Question

Airplane X left the airport, flying at a rate of 400 miles per hour. Airplane Y left 2 hours later, flying at a rate of 450 miles per hour. How long will it take airplane Y to catch up to airplane X?

Answer 1

Answer: i think it will take 48 hours

Explanation:

here's how to get 48 so basically 450-400-2= 48

now if you end up doing 400 - 450 then you will get -50 if you do 400-450-2 you will get a -52 so you want to make sure you do the biggest number first and then do the smaller numbers to get 48 like 450 - 400 - 2 and then you will have 48

i hope this helps!
