Question 413824: to cars start toward each other at eh same time from two cities 360 km apart. if one car averages 40 km/h and the other 50 km/h,how much time will elapse before they meet? Answer by bayners123(12) (Show Source):

Now use the equation for speed time and distance:
distance = speed * time
time = distance/speed
=360/90
=4 hrs
