Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

let they travel the distance between them alone

d = common distance traveled by both motorcycle and car = 540 miles

t_{m}= time taken by motorcycle to travel distance between them

v_{m} = speed of the motorcycle = 48 mph

time taken by motorcycle to travel distance between them is given as

t_{m}= d/v_{m}

t_{m}=540/48

t_{m}= 11.25 h



t_{c}= time taken by car to travel distance "d" =11.25 - 2.25 = 9 h

v_{m} = speed of the motorcycle

speed of motorcycle is given as

v_{m} = d/t_{m}

v_{m} = 540/9

v_{m} = 60 mph


when the car and motorcycle move towards each other, the relative speed is given as

v = v_{m} + v_{c}

v = 60 + 48

v = 108 mph

t = time taken to meet

Time taken to meet is given as

t = d/v

t = 540/108

t = 5 h
