A car and a van leaves Los Angeles at the same time headed for San Francisco the car travels at an average speed of 52 mph the van travels at the average speed of 63 mph. If Los Angeles is 343 miles from San Francisco how long will it take to meet at their destination
========================
The van is faster, so it will get to SFO first, in 343/63 hours.
The car will arrive in 343/52 hours.
The van will arrive first, then wait for the car???
