distanc travelled

Hi,
At the point the aircraft meet they will have travelled the same distance, 488.75 miles each.

A has travelled for 2.875 hrs at 170 mph=488.75 miles(don't forget the 45 min head start)
B has travelled for 2.125 hrs at 230 mph=488.75 miles

Therefore total distance travelled is 488.75x2=977.5 miles

Nick.
