Your friend's family moved to a town 300 miles from where you live. You and your friend decide to meet halfway between the two towns to visit. Your friend averages 50 miles per hour on his trip. You average 60 miles per hour on your trip. If you and your friend leave at the same time, how much earlier do you arrive at the same meeting place?

Respuesta :

Answer:

30 minutes earlier

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the friend lives 300 miles away, they each have to travel 150 miles which is half of that distance. If the friend travels at 50 miles per hour, they will take 3 hours to reach the destination. If you traveled 60 miles per hour, then you would take 2.5 hours, therefore making it there before him by half an hour.

150/50 = 3

150/60 = 2.5

hope this helps :^)
