Chasity and Megan are riding their bikes to raise money for the Catholic Children's Home. They are 45 miles apart when they begin cycling towards each other and they both start cycling at the same time. If Chasity travels at 14 miles per hour and Megan travels at 16 miles per hour, how long will it take them to meet?
------------------
Their closing speed is 14+16 = 30 mph
---
Time = 45/30 = 1.5 hrs = 1 hr 30 min
