they both drove the same time, t hrs
so 60t + 80t = 210
140t = 210
t = 210/140 = 1.5
after 1.5 hrs, they met.
and that time was 9:20 + 1:30 = 10:50 pm
distance traveled by car = 1.5(80) = 120 km
so 60t + 80t = 210
140t = 210
t = 210/140 = 1.5
after 1.5 hrs, they met.
and that time was 9:20 + 1:30 = 10:50 pm
distance traveled by car = 1.5(80) = 120 km
