Patty 45 mph 12:00 PM
Toby 60 mph 03:00 PM 3 hours late
Distance 345 miles
In 3 hours Patty travels 135 miles before Toby starts
So distance = 210 before Toby starts
Let time they take to meet be x hours
Patty distance traveled 45 x miles
Toby distance traveled 60 x miles
t=d/r
combined speed= 105 mph
105 x = 210
x= 2.00 hours
They will meet at 5.00 PM
