Answer:

2 hours

Explanation:

If one travels at 22 mph and the other travels at 24 mph, that means every hour they will get 22 + 24 = 46 miles closer.

92 / 46 = 2, so it takes them 2 hours to meet

2 hours

Explanation:

motor scooter 1 and motor scooter 2 will travel 46 miles closer in an hour. Given that the total distance is 92, 46 X 2 = 92 so it will take 2 hours for them to meet
