Alex leaves Atlanta heading directly toward Detroit at 8:00 a.m. traveling at 50 mph. Heidi leaves Detroit, 600 miles away, heading directly for Atlanta at the same time, traveling at 70 mph. When do they meet?
A) 12 noon
B) 1 p.m.
C) 1:30 p.m.
D) 2 p.m.
E) 2:30 p.m.
答案
(B) The trip of 600 miles can be broken into two parts, 50T and 70T. Therefore, 50T + 70T =600, therefore 120T = 600. T = 5 hours. 8:00 a.m. + 5 hrs = 1 p.m.
我有點被句意搞混了,不太了解怎麼算出來的!
