Shours Solution: Using the diagram below, move each arrow the according to how many kilometers each should travel in a unit of time. For example, since each small unit on the line is equal to 250 km, move the left arrow 1 unit every hour (representing 250 km/hr), and move the right arrow 2 units every hour (representing 500 km/hr). Get the total distance each time you move the arrows. Eventually, after 5 hours, the total distance covered by the left and right arrows will be 1,250 km and 2,500 km, respectively. Thus, after 5 hours, the planes will be 3,750 km apart. eegege eeegeegee s 3 e 8 es 8888 8 8 8 8&8 4S # £ 2 §€§ 8 § 8 8 a eld 543 21hs 1 2 3 4 § ANALYTICAL ABILITY WORKSHEET 4: COGNITIVE REASONING 1. 25 2.
