Sue heads due west from Dry Gulch on U.S. 65 at a steady speed of 55 mph (miles per hour) while Don heads due east from Wet Hollow (which is 840 miles west of Dry Gulch) on the same hi-way at 65 mph both start at the same time. After what time did they cross paths.
\n" ); document.write( "I would like this solved with respect to time. That is Time traveled by Don to crossing point is equal to time traveled by Sue to crossing point.
\n" ); document.write( "Time Traveled (Don) = Time Traveled (Sue). I can solve it by using Dist traveled but would like to see this worked out via time if it can be.
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "They're approaching, so their speeds are added. 55+65 = 120 mph.
\n" ); document.write( "840/120 = 7 hours.
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "s = 65 mph (Sue's speed)
\n" ); document.write( "n = 55 mph (Don's speed)
\n" ); document.write( "d = rt
\n" ); document.write( "65t + 55t = 840
\n" ); document.write( "120t = 840
\n" ); document.write( "t = 7 hours \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
