<u>Bus:</u>
40 min = 36 miles
1 min = 36 ÷ 40 = 0.9 mile
<u>Car:</u>
1 min = 0.9 x 1.4 = 1.26 miles
<u>Total distance covered by both vehicles in 1 min: </u>
1.26 + 0.9 = 2.16 miles
<u>Time needed for both of them to cover 36km:</u>
36 ÷ 2.16 = 16 2/3 min
Answer: They will meet 16 2/3 mins after they have started.
N=2 ask me if you want an explanation.
You gotta show us the equations and solutions for an answer.
