| Trucks and cars set off to meet each other from two cities, the distance between which is 340 km. The truck was traveling at a speed of 70 km / h, and a passenger car at 100 km / h. In how many hours will they meet?
Let the car and the truck meet in x hours. Then a passenger car will travel – 100 * x km, and a truck will travel 70 * x km. According to the terms of the problem, together they will arrive 340 km. I.e:
100x + 70x = 340
170x = 340
x = 340/170
x = 2.
For x we took the time after which they will meet.
Answer: they will meet in 2 hours.
