Two small planes start from the same airport and fly in opposite directions.
The first plane flies at a rate of 100 mph and the second plane flies at 130 mph.
In how many hours will they be 444 miles apart?
a) Let h= the time the planes spend traveling. Write the equation you would use to find this time.
The equation we would use to find the time the planes spend traveling is:
100h + 130h = 444
