Question 148150: Hello, it's problem solving time and I am needing a little help. Please
Two motorcycles travel toward each other from cities that are about 320km apart at rates of 95 km/hr and 65 km/hr. They started at the same time. In how many hours will they meet?
Thanks for any help,
Paula

Since they're approaching, their relative speed (to each other) is the sum of their speeds with respect to the Earth. 65 + 95 = 160kph
They start 320 km apart
T = 320/160
T = 2 hours.
