Question 925249: two motorist start toward each other at 4:30 pm from towns 250 miles apart. if their respective average speeds at 20 mi/hr, at what time will they meet Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! D = rt, t = D/r
Time traveled Equal
... | Cross Multiplying to solve
20(250-x) = 20x
5000 = 40x
125mi = x = 6.25 hr 0r 6hr and 15min
4:30pm + 6hr and 15min = 10:45 pm
