To solve given word problem.
Answer to Problem 4P
In 20.5 minutes they will be at same altitude.
Explanation of Solution
Given information :
One plane is at 520 ft. is ascending at a rate of 40 feet per minute.
Another plane is at 3800 feet is descending at rate of 120 minutes.
Let the time in minute when the both plane will be at same altitude be x .
Hence the equation becomes,
Now we shall solve for x .
We get,
Hence in 20.5 minutes they will be at same altitude.
