At the same time, two motorcyclists drove out to meet each other. One was driving at a speed of 70 km / h

At the same time, two motorcyclists drove out to meet each other. One was driving at a speed of 70 km / h, having traveled 140 km to the meeting, and the other was driving at an average speed of 65 km / h. Find the distance between cities?

Let’s solve the problem of oncoming traffic.

1) Find out how long the motorcyclist spent on the way before the meeting, who was moving at a speed of 70 km / h and drove 140 km at the same time:

140: 70 = 2 hours.

2) Since the motorcyclists started moving at the same time, the second motorcyclist was on the way for 2 hours.

3) Determine which path the second motorcyclist covered in 2 hours, moving at a speed of 65 km / h:

65 * 2 = 130 km.

4) Let’s calculate the distance between the cities from which motorcyclists were driving towards each other:

140 + 130 = 270 km.

Answer: 270 km.
