Two motorcyclists drove out at the same time towards each other from two cities.

Two motorcyclists drove out at the same time towards each other from two cities. The first one drove 240 km to the meeting at a speed of 80 km / h. the speed of the second is 75 km / h. What is the distance between cities?

Let’s calculate how long the first motorcyclist was on the road:
240: 8 = 3 hours – the first motorcyclist was on the way.
Let’s calculate the distance covered by the second rider in three hours:
75 * 3 = 225 km – covered by the second motorcyclist in three hours.
Let’s calculate the distance between cities (distance covered by both riders):
240 + 225 = 465 km – both motorcyclists covered in three hours, which was the distance between cities.
Answer: the distance between cities is four hundred and sixty-five kilometers.
