City A and City B are 440 miles apart. If Jack leaves city A traveling 50mph and Jill leaves city B traveling 60mph, how long will they travel if they drive toward each other?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let t = traveling time when they meet
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "We know that when they meet, their combined travel distance will be 440 mi
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Dist = speed * time
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "jack's dist + Jill's dist = 440
\n" ); document.write( " 50t + 60t = 440
\n" ); document.write( "110t = 440
\n" ); document.write( "t = 440/110
\n" ); document.write( "t = 4 hrs
\n" ); document.write( ":

\n" ); document.write( "Check: 4(50) + 4(60) = 440 \n" ); document.write( "
