two trucks started toward each other at the same time from towns 500 km apart one truck traveled at the rate of 65 kilometers per hour while the other travels at the rate of 60 kilometers per hour after how many hours did they meet

Respuesta :

Answer: They meet after 100 hours .

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Distance = 500 km

Speed of first truck = 65 km/hr

Speed of second truck = 60 km/hr

They are started towards each other.

So, Relative speed would be

[tex]65-60\\\\=5\ km/hr[/tex]

So, Time taken would be

[tex]\dfrac{500}{5}\\\\=100\ hours[/tex]

Hence, they meet after 100 hours .
