Answer:
17*200/17+83
Explanation:
Points A and B are 200 mi apart. A cyclist started from point A and a motorcyclist started from point B, moving towards each other. The speed of the cyclist was 17 mph, the speed of motorcyclist was 83 mph. At what distance from point A will they meet?
The distance under the question is 17*200/17+83= 17*2 = 34 miles.
17+83 = 100 mph in the denominator is the relative speed of the participants, the rate of decreasing the distance between them.
200/17+83=200/100= 2 hours is the time before they meet.
therefore 17*200/17+83 is the time before they meet
