Blacklash

Answer:

 Time taken them to meet = 1.429 hours.

Explanation:

 Speed of first plane = 40 mph

 Speed of second plane = 100 mph

 Distance between planes = 200 miles

 If two objects with speed v and u are flying towards each other, their relative speed = v + u

 So here relative speed = 40 + 100 = 140 mph

 Time taken to meet = Distance/Speed = 200/140 = 1.429 hours.

 Time taken them to meet = 1.429 hours.

Answer:

1.429
