Question 1132520: Two friends, Frank and Jack, live 2000 miles apart. They want to meet each other and decided to both travel so that they can see one another sooner. They both drive directly toward each other with Frank traveling at 50 mph, and Jack at 60 mph. How much time will pass before they meet? Answer by addingup(3677) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 50x + 60x = 2000
110x = 2000
x = 18.2 hours (rounding off the decimals)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
check, with less rounding:
50*18.18181818 = 909.1
60*18.18181818 = 1090.91
Total . = 2000.01(again, the .01 is the rounding)
