Question 644819
    two cyclists start at the same time from opposite ends of a course that is 45 miles long. one cyclist is riding at 14 mph and the second cyclist is riding at 16 mph. how long after they begin will they meet?
.
Applying the "distance formula" of d=rt
.
Let x = time (hours) they will meet
then
14x + 16x = 45
30x = 45
x = 45/30
x = 1.5 hours
or
x = 1 hour and 30 minutes
