Question 432910: Jessica lives in Scranton and Kevin lives in a town 245 Miles away. They plan on meeting at a location along the highway between their homes. Jessica drives her car at an average speed of 65miles per hour and Kevin rides his motorcycle at an average speed of 60 miles per hour. If they both leave at the same time. how many miles from Scraton will they meet? Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If they're traveling toward each other, then you can add velocities.
-----------------------
60mph+65mph=125mph
245miles/125mph=1.96 hours=1hour 57.6minutes
If Jessica is leaving Scranton, then she will have traveled 65mphX1.96hrs=127.4 miles away from Scranton.
