Answer: They meet after 1 hour 42 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Dana leaves Las Vegas for LA at 2 p.m. driving at 55 mph.
Let the time taken by Dana be 't'.
Distance traveled by Dana would be 55t.
At 4 p.m. Lance leaves LA for Las Vegas driving at 45 mph along the same route.
It means after 2 hours Lance leave for LA.
So, time taken by Lance be 't-2'.
Distance traveled by Lance would be 45(t-2)
Total distance = 260 miles
According to question, it becomes,
Hence, they meet after 1 hour 42 minutes.
