Ching leaves San Francisco and travels toward Los Angeles at 50 mi/h. An hour later, Phil leaves Los Angeles and travels toward San Francisco at 60 mi/hr. If the two cities are 380 miles apart how many hours will it take for Ching to meet Phil?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let t = C's traveling time when he meets P
\n" ); document.write( "Then:
\n" ); document.write( "(t-1) = P's traveling time
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write a distance equation: Dist = speed * time
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "C's dist + P's dist = 380 mi
\n" ); document.write( "50t + 60(t-1) = 385
\n" ); document.write( "50t + 60t - 60 = 385
\n" ); document.write( "110t = 385 + 60
\n" ); document.write( "110t = 440
\n" ); document.write( "t = 440/110
\n" ); document.write( "t = 4 hrs for C to meet P
