Mr. Hernandez runs his car at a regular speed of 50kph and Mr. Reyes at 36kph. They started the same time at 5:30 AM and took opposite directions. At what time will they be 600 km apart?
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "Hernandez DATA;
\n" ); document.write( "Rate = 50 kph; Time = x hrs; Distance = rt = 50x km
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Reyes DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "Rate = 36 kph; Time = x hrs; Distance = rt = 36x km
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "distance + distance = 600 km
\n" ); document.write( "50x + 36x = 600
\n" ); document.write( "86x = 600
\n" ); document.write( "x = 6.98 hrs
\n" ); document.write( "Note: 0.98 hrs = 58.8 minutes
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "5:30 + 6 hr 58.8 minutes is approximately 12:30 PM
