Rich is driving from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh at 70 mph and Michelle is driving from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia at 65 mph. If Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are 305 miles apart how long will it take Rich and Michelle to meet?
If Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are 305 miles apart, it will take 2 hours 15 minutes for Rich and Michelle to meet.
distance = velocity(time)
s = v(t)
Assigning values gives 2 equations:
For Michelle: X = 65(t)
For Rich: (305-X) = 70(t)
Substituting both equations gives:
X = 146.852 miles
t = 2.26 hours or approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes
