Two cars simultaneously drove towards each other from two points. The speed of one car was 60 km / h, and the other 80 km / h after 2.5 hours they met. What is the distance between the points?

Let’s find how many kilometers the first car drove before meeting the second car.

According to the condition of the problem, the first car moved at a speed of 60 km / h and met the second car 2.5 hours after leaving, therefore, the distance that the first car traveled before meeting the second car is 60 * 2.5 = 150 km.

Let’s find how many kilometers the second car traveled before meeting the first car.

According to the condition of the problem, the second car was moving at a speed of 80 km / h and drove out simultaneously with the first car, therefore, the distance that the second car traveled before meeting the first car is 80 * 2.5 = 200 km.

Therefore, the distance between points is 150 + 200 = 350 km.

Answer: the distance between the points is 350 km.
