Question 505891
Distance(d) equals Rate(r) times Time(t) or d=rt;  r=d/t and t=d/r
Let t=amount of time it takes for them to meet
Now we know that Eric and Beth will have met when their combined distances add up to 540 mi.

Distance Eric travels=65t
Distance Beth travels=55t
Sooooo:
65t+55t=540
120t=540
t=4.5 hr

CK 
Distance Eric travels=65*4.5=292.5 mi
Distance Beth travels=55*4.5=247.5 mi
292.5+247.5=540
540=540

Hope this helps----ptaylor
