Two cars are driving toward each other from opposite directions. If one is driving 55 mph, the other is driving 60 mph, and the cars are 500 miles apart, how long will it be before they pass each other?

[Question-2]
T(55 + 60) = 500
T(115) = 500
T = 500/115
T = 4.3478260869565217391304347826087 hours

Rounding to the nearest tenth gives 4.3

A is the answer

your answer will be at 300 miles, because the speed of one, and the rate of the other meet at the 300 mile mark
