Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The two vehicles are moving towards each other, so we can add up their speeds: 
49 mph + 78 mph = 127 mph 
The distance they need to cover is 762 miles. 
We can use the formula: 
time = distance / speed 
time = 762 miles / 127 mph 
time = 6 hours 
Therefore, the two vehicles will meet after 6 hours.

The Distance Between City a and City B Is 762
