The jet has gained on the small plane at the rate of 10 miles per minute, so is flying 600 miles per hour faster. (There are 60 minutes in an hour.)
Since the jet is flying twice as fast as the smaller plane, the small plane's speed is the same as the difference in speed: 600 mph.
The jet's speed is double that, 1200 mph.
- small plane: 600 mph
- jet: 1200 mph
Answer:
You wrote the numbers from 1 to 9: 9 digits.
You wrote the numbers from 10 to 99: 90*2 = 180 digits.
You have written 189 digits.
Then you wrote another 1994 - 189 = 1805
All the numbers from 100 to 999 have 3 digits
So you wrote 1805/3 = 601 2/3
This means 601 full numbers and 2 digits from the 602. number.
So 100 + 601 - 1 = 700 was the last number you wrote.
Do you agree?
Manny would have $12 and Neil would have $6
