a car leaves san Francisco for los Angeles going 70 mph at the same time another car leaves los angles for San Francisco at 60 mph when will they meet if it is 520 miles between san Francisco to los angels
--------
Let the time till they meet be "t"::
70t + 60t = 520
140t = 520
t = 13/7
time = 26/7 = 3.71 hrs = 3hrs 42min 36sec
