\n" ); document.write( " If they are initially 12 km apart, how long will it take for them to pass one another and where will they pass relative to the left cars starting position?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let t = time for them to meet
\n" ); document.write( "Write a distance equation; dist = speed * time
\n" ); document.write( "150t + 100t = 12
\n" ); document.write( "250t = 12
\n" ); document.write( "t = 12/250
\n" ); document.write( "t = .048 hrs,
\n" ); document.write( "Find how far will the left car will travel
\n" ); document.write( ".048*150 = 7.2 km from the left car starting position \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
