Answer:

7.75 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = Rate times Time

Monica 400=50xT

Mary 300=40xT

Monica 400/50=T, so T=8 hours. This is how long it takes her to get home.

Mary 300/40=T, so T=7.5 hours. This is how long it takes her to get home.

The difference in time between 7.5 and 8 hours is 7.75 hours. This is the time they will be an equal distance from home.
