2 cars begin driving toward each other from towns that are 20 miles apart. The first car's unit rate is 45 miles per hour. The send car's unit rate is 55 mi per hour. If both cars leave at 4:35 p.m, when will the two cars pass on the road
======
distance + distance = 20 miles
45x + 55x = 20
100x = 20
x = 1/5 hr
------
Ans: 4:35 + 20 min = 4:55PM
----------------------------
a. 5:35 p.m
b. 5:55 p.m
c. 6:05 p.m
d. 6:35 p.m
e. 6:40 p.m
