You can put this solution on YOUR website! The distance between A and B is 114 miles. At the same moment two trucks start moving toward each other, one from A and the other from B. The speed of one of them is 60 mi/h. Find the speed of the other truck if they meet 1.5 hours after they leave.
---------
A DATA:
rate = 60 mph ; time = 1.5 hrs ; distance = 1.5*60 = 90 miles
--------
B DATA:
distance: 24 miles ; time = 1.5 hrs
----
Equation:
rate = dist/time = 24/1.5 = 16 mph

========================
; rate = dist/1.5 = 24/1.5 = 16 mph
