Trucker I 56 mph 1 hour early
\n" ); document.write( "Trucker II 59 mph
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Distance 290 miles
\n" ); document.write( " Trucker I has traveled 56 miles before Trucker II starts
\n" ); document.write( "When Trucker II starts distance between them = (290-56)=234 miles
\n" ); document.write( "Let time they take to be be away 234 miles be x hours
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Time taken to meet is same
\n" ); document.write( "t=d/r
\n" ); document.write( "combined speed= (56+59)= 115 mph
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "115 x = 234
\n" ); document.write( "/115
\n" ); document.write( "x= 2.03 hours \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "They can talk for 2.03 hours
