Question 618605: Two cars approach each other on a two lane road. The left car is travelling at 150 km/h while the one on the right is travelling at 100 km/h. If they are initially 12 km apart, how long will it take for them to pass one another and where will they pass relative to the left cars starting position?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Two cars approach each other on a two lane road.
The left car is traveling at 150 km/h while the one on the right is traveling at 100 km/h.
If they are initially 12 km apart, how long will it take for them to pass one another and where will they pass relative to the left cars starting position?
:
Let t = time for them to meet
Write a distance equation; dist = speed * time
150t + 100t = 12
250t = 12
t = 12/250
t = .048 hrs,
Find how far will the left car will travel
.048*150 = 7.2 km from the left car starting position
