Answer:

2.86 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Ricky and Lucy are 40 miles apart on bicycles heading towards each other on the same road. Ricky bicycles at 8 mph and Lucy rides at 6 mph. In how many hours will they meet?

Speed = Distance/time

Distance = Speed × time

t = ?

Hence,

8mph ×t + 6 mph × t = 40 miles

8t + 6 t = 40 miles

14t = 40 miles

t = 40/14

t = 2.86 hours

They will meet in 2.86 hours
