They have each traveled half of 480 miles, which is 240 miles.
240 / 4 = 60 miles per hour
Bob and Mary start traveling toward each other from 480 miles apart, each moving at the same speed. They meet after four hours.
How fast were they each traveling?
I had 20 and then 144 I have tried this problem and everything is wrong.

is that all that you have to do? Is there not a formula that needs to be followed? By the way thank you very much. I am however not good at all with speed and distance problems.
There may be formulas -- but I don't know them. Common sense can solve a lot of them -- like this one.
distance = rate * time :)
