Question 464348: Anthony leaves Kingstown and drives 160 miles to Albany. He leaves at 2:00 p.m. At 2:15p.m., Emily leaves Albany and drives to Kingstown at 40 m.p.h. If Anthony is driving 45 m.p.h., at what time do they pass each other on the road? Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2:15-2:00=1/4 hour
1/4(45)=11.25 miles
160-11.25=148.75 miles
148.75/(40+45)=148.75/85=1.75 hours
They pass each other at 1-3/4 hours after 2:15, or at 4:00 p.m...
