Answer:

5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

A motorcycle will complete the 540 mile trip in 11.25 hours

And the car will complete it 2.25 hours less, i.e 11.25 -2,25 = 9 hours.

then,

Speed of the car:

60t + 48t = 540

108t = 540

If you Divide both sides by 108 we get t = 5

So, they will meet in 5 hours,
