    t = 1 hour

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Oddly the distances add. Each plane will contribute a certain distance to make the 450 km. They will meet after the same number of hours have passed.

    d = r * t

    r1 = 240 km/hour

    t1 = t

    r2 = 210 km/hour

    t2 = t

    240*t + 210*t = 450 collect the terms on the left.

    450t = 450 divide by 450

    450t/450 = 450/450

    t = 1

    After 1 hour they will meet.

    1 hour.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    You have to do the total distance / total speed together.

    You have to do this to ensure that you are counting how fast they are travelling together.

    (450 km) / the sum of their speed (240+210)

    450 / (240+210)

    =450 / 450

    =1

    Answer: 1 Hour.
