Hi, ive got my ctc coming up, just revising my long division etc etc and just came across a question that i cant get round my head to answer! its as follows:
aircraft a sets off from airport a at 10am and flies towards airport b with a flying speed of 100kts.
aircraft b sets off from airport b at 10am and flies towards airport a with a flying speed of 150kts.
airports a and b are 300miles apart
at what time do the aircraft meet each other?
Is this a simple distance/speed/time answer, im sure its easy, but havent done this kind of maths for years! If anyone could give me a helping hand id appreciate it!
thanks! :ok: :E
