Question

4) Two people, 330 miles apart, decide to meet a point in between. One person travels in a car that

travels 50 miles per hour. The other person takes a train that travels at 55 miles per hour. How long

will it take for them to meet, if they leave at the same time, traveling towards each other?

Answer 1

The time they will take to meet each other will be 3.14 hours.

Explanation:

Two people, 330 miles apart, decide to meet a point in between. One person travels in a car that travels 50 miles per hour. The other person takes a train that travels at 55 miles per hour.

Therefore, their resultant speed is (50 + 55) = 105 mph.

{Since they leave at the same time, traveling towards each other}

Therefore, the time they will take to meet each other will be
`(330)/(105) = 3.14` hours. (Answer)
