Question 1010076: Luke left Lethbridge at 9:00 and drove toward Whitecourt at 90 km/h. Han left Whitecourt at the same time and drove toward Lethbridge at 80km/h. The distance from white court to Lethbridge is 680km.

Their combined speed is 170 km/hr.
Therefore they covered the entire distance (albeit together) in 680/170 = 4 hours.
Luke covered 90(4) = 360 km in that time...thus the answer is
360 km.
