Question 821652: If two people are 50 miles apart traveling towards each other one traveling 60 mph the other 30 mph, at what point will they mere? Found 2 solutions by TimothyLamb, stanbon:Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):

relative speed = 60 + 30 = 90
---
s = d / t
t = d / s
t = 50 / 90
t = 0.555555 hours
---
s = d / t
d = s * t
---
person A:
d = 60 * 0.555555
d = 33.333333 miles
---
person B:
d = 30 * 0.555555
d = 16.666666 miles
---
answer:
they will meet 0.555555 hours after each person begins traveling
person A will have traveled: 33.333333 miles
person B will have traveled: 16.666666 miles

-----
They are closing the gap at 30+60 = 90 mph
-----
time = distance/rate = 50/90 = 5/9 hrs
----
= (5/9)60 = 300/9 = 33min 20sec
