Given:
Distance between Lily and Wilder = 810 miles
They drive towards each other with Lily driving at 55 mph and Wilder driving at 80 mph.
To find:
After how many hours will they meet?
Solution:
Lily driving at 55 mph and Wilder driving at 80 mph towards each other. So, the relative speed is:
Relative speed [tex]=(55+80)\text{ mph}[/tex]
[tex]=135 \text{ mph}[/tex]
We know that,
[tex]Time=\dfrac{Distance}{Speed}[/tex]
[tex]Time=\dfrac{810}{135}[/tex]
[tex]Time=6[/tex]
Therefore, Lily and Wilder will meet after 6 hours.
