Question 452957: two cars start 10 miles apart. They travel in a straight line twoards each other. if they are going at 40 and 60 miles per hour respectively, how long does it take for them to meet up and how much of the 10 miles has each done? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! d=10
speeds are 40 & 60
combined speed = 100 mph
t= d/r
t= 10/100
t= 1/10 hour
...
rate * time = distance
One train has traveled 1/10 * 40 = 4 miles
other train has traveled 1/10 * 60 = 6 miles
