Time Distance Question

Question

New York and Los Angeles are 3,000 miles apart. If a man drives from New York to Los Angeles at 80 mph and another man drives from Los Angeles to New York at 90mph, where will they meet?

Answer 1

80H + 90H = 3000

8H +9H = 300

17H = 300

H = 300/17 = about 17.65 hours when they meet

80 x 17.65 = about 1,412 miles from New York and 1,588 miles from LA is the meeting spot for an instant, rounded to the nearest mile
