<PRE><B>Question 807968</B>
Two persons travel on an East-West highway to two cities in the opposite directions.  The distance between the two cities is 1080 miles. Person A going West travels at 65mph.  Person B going East travels at 70mph.  At which point (mile) does B meet A?
------
A going West DATA:
rate = 65 mph ; time = t hrs ; distance = 65t miles
------
B going East DATA:
rate = 70 mph ; time = t hrs ; distance = 70t miles
----------
Equation:
dist + dist = 1080 miles
65t + 70t = 1080
135t = 1080
t = 8 hrs
---------
B meets A 70t = 70*8 = 560 miles East of B.
