    d = 5,000 mi the distance between the missiles

    v1 = 2,000 mph the rate of the first missile

    v2 = 1,000 mph the rate of the second missile

    t = 1 min = 1/60 hr

    Since distance = speed*time the distance 1 minute before the impact is:

    v1t + v2t = t (v1 + v2) = (1/60) (2,000 + 1,000) = 50 miles.
