Question 350435: Emily leaves home at 2:00 traveling 30 miles per hour. Sarah leaves 20 mins. later traveling at 36 miles per hour. At what time will they meet up.
I think it has something to do with t=r/d but the question does not give distance. I also tried at table 30t+36(t+20)= ____ but I don't know what to put in the blank. Please help me. Thank you for you time.
