The distance between the two villages is 240 km. From these villages, 2 cars drove out to meet each other.

The distance between the two villages is 240 km. From these villages, 2 cars drove out to meet each other. The truck was traveling at a speed of 40 km per hour, and the passenger car was at 80 km per hour. In how many hours will they meet?

To solve this problem, you first need to determine at what speed the truck and passenger cars were moving towards each other.
To do this, we summarize their speeds. Will be:
40 + 80 = 120 km / h.
We determine the time of meeting the cars.
To do this, we divide the indicated distance between the villages, namely 240 km, by the speed of convergence of cars.
Will be:
240/120 = 2 hours.
Answer: The car pick-up will take place in 2 hours.
