Question 363410: State College and Philadelphia are 297 miles apart. Amanda left State College at noon, heading toward Philadelphia, and averaged 54 mph. James left Philadelphia at the same time, heading toward State College, and he averaged 45 mph. At what time did they meet? How many miles did James drive before they met?
