The distance between two places A and B is 60 km. Two cars start at the same time from A and B, travelling at a speed of 35km/h and 25km/h, respectively. If the cars run in the same direction, then they will meet after (in hours)?

The problem involves two cars traveling in the same direction from two points, A and B, with a distance of 60 km between them. The speeds of the cars are 35 km/h for the first car and 25 km/h for the second car. We need to determine the time taken for the cars to meet.
Since the cars are traveling in the same direction, we calculate the relative speed of the faster car with respect to the slower car:
Relative speed = Speed of first car - Speed of second car = 35 km/h - 25 km/h = 10 km/h.
To find the time when they meet, we use the formula for time:
Time = Distance / Relative Speed
Setting the distance as 60 km, we have:
Time = 60 km / 10 km/h = 6 hours.
Therefore, the cars will meet after 6 hours.
