Question 204655
A truck leaves a hotel at 45 mph to go to the airport which is exactly 1 hour away. When it is half way there,a taxi starts from a hotel starting at 50 mph for the airport. How far is the taxi from the airport when the truck reaches the airport?
----------------
If it's "1 hour away" at 45 mph, then it's 45 miles away.
The taxi starts when the truck is 1/2 hour from the airport, and at 50 mph travels 25 miles in 1/2 hours.
45-25 = 20 miles.
The truck is 20 miles from the airport when the taxi arrives.
