lucia travels from point A to point B at 100km/h. Jane leaves at the same time as Lucia, travelling from point B to point A at 50km/h.
The distance from A to B is 100km.How long after the two leave will they meet on the road?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
time = = = of an hour = 40 minutes.
Initial distance between them is 100 km.
Since they move toward each other, the distance decreases at the rate of 100 km/h + 50 km/h = 100 km/h.
Therefore, time = , as I did above.
