Problema Solution

Two cars are 28 miles apart. At noon, they started to travel towards each other at 6 mph and 8 mph respectively. What time will they meet?

Answer provided by our tutors

let


t = the time of the travel


since distance = speed * time we have


6t + 8t = 28


14t = 28 divide both sides by 14


t = 28/14


t = 2 hr


they start at noon, and after 2 hours, they will meet at 2:00 pm.
