Question 1466
First let x be the time they meet
55x+45x = 240 (The speed times the time gives you the distance)
100x = 240
x = 2.4
So they used 2.4 hours to meet each other
the faster car traveled 2.4(55) = 132 miles
the slower car traveled 2.4(45) = 108 miles
hope you will get over this kind of problems
