Question
Two brothers leave from the same point driving in opposite directions, the first brother driving at 55 miles per hour and the second at 65 mph. The first brother has a one-hour head start. If each brother has a communication device that allows him to talk to the other for up to a 300-mile range, how long will they be able to talk to each other?

Hey there
the answer is
Equation:
distance + distance = 260 miles
60x+60 + 45x = 260
105x = 200
x = 40/21 = 1.904 hrs = 1 hr 54 minutes 17 seconds
thank you
