The distance between the cities atlanta and indianapolis is 540 miles. a motorcycle's speed is 48 mph. for a car it takes 2.25 hours less to cover same distance than for the motorcycle. how long does it take them to meet, if they start moving towards each other simultaneously?

5 hours after they start.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between the cities Atlanta and Indianapolis is 540 miles.

If a motorcycle's speed is 48 mph, then time taken by motorcycle = Distance / Speed = 540 miles / 48 mph = 11.25 hours.

For a car it takes 2.25 hours less to cover same distance than for the motorcycle. Then time taken by car = 11.25 - 2.25 = 9 hours.

Speed of car = Distance / Time = 540 miles / 9 hours = 60 mph.

If they start moving towards each other simultaneously, then the time when they meet = Distance / (sum of speeds) = 540 miles / (60+48) mph = 540 miles / 108 mph = 5 hours.

Hence, it takes them 5 hours to meet after they start moving towards each other simultaneously.

3 is greater then both of those numbers
