Question 55401: 2 teams of scientists leave a university at the same time in special vans to search for tornadoes. the 1st team travel east at 20 mi/h and the 2nd team travels west at 30mi/h.their radios have a range of 125 mi. how much time will pass before the scientists lose radio contact? Answer by foleysdad(7) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The two teams are travelling apart at 50 miles per hour. 20 mph from the first team and 30 miles per hour from the second and travelling exactly opposite each other. If they were tavelling at an angle to each other the computation would be more difficult. Since the radios don't work after 125 miles just divide 125 by 50 and get 2.5 hours.
