Answer:
3:25 pm
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance between New Orleans and Houston is : 353 miles
Departure time of the bus : 12:20 pm
Speed of the bus: 60 mph
After 45 minutes, the bus will be at a distance of : 45/60 * 60 = 45 miles
Distance remaining to cover = 353-45 = 308 miles
Speed of the motorcycle = 72 mph
Relative speed = 60 + 72 = 132 mph
Time the two will meet = 308 / 132 = 7/3 hrs
7/3 hrs = 2 hrs 20 minutes
Time the two will meet is ;
12:20 pm + 45 minutes + 2 hrs 20 minutes
= 3:25 pm
