The distance between the two cities is 1264 miles. Two planes flew out of them at the same time to meet each other and met 8 hours after departure. The speed of one of the planes is 82 miles per hour. How fast was the second plane flying?

1. Let’s find from how many miles the plane’s path was, the speed of which was 82 miles per hour.

82 * 8 = 656 miles.

2. Let’s determine what distance another plane flew during the same time.

1264 – 656 = 608 miles.

3. We find out at what speed he flew per hour, if it is known that he covered 608 miles in 8 hours.

608/8 = 76 miles.

Answer: The speed of the other plane was 76 miles per hour.
