Question 1010076: Luke left Lethbridge at 9:00 and drove toward Whitecourt at 90 km/h. Han left Whitecourt at the same time and drove toward Lethbridge at 80km/h. The distance from white court to Lethbridge is 680km.
How far from Lethbridge were they when they met?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Their combined speed is 170 km/hr.
Therefore they covered the entire distance (albeit together) in 680/170 = 4 hours.
Luke covered 90(4) = 360 km in that time...thus the answer is
360 km.
