Antony leaves Kingstown at 2:00 P.M. and drives to Queensville, 256 km distant, at 72 km/h.
\n" ); document.write( " At 2:15 P.M. Helen leaves Queensville and drives to Kingstown at 64 km/h.
\n" ); document.write( " At what time do they pass each other on the road?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "When they pass each other, the sum of their distances will be 256 km
\n" ); document.write( "15 min = .25 hr
\n" ); document.write( "let t = the travel time of Antony when they meet
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "(t-.25) = the travel time of Helen
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "72t + 64(t-.25) = 256
\n" ); document.write( "72t + 64t - 16 = 256
\n" ); document.write( "136t = 256 + 16
\n" ); document.write( "136t = 272
\n" ); document.write( "t = 272/136
\n" ); document.write( "t = 2 hrs is Antony travel time from 2 PM
\n" ); document.write( "They should meet at 4 PM
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the actual dist each traveled and check their sum.
\n" ); document.write( "1.75 * 64 = 112 km
\n" ); document.write( "2 * 72 = 144
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "total dist: 256 km \n" ); document.write( "
