Answer:

If they start moving towards each other simultaneously, they meet in 1 hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

The velocity of the truck is [tex]\frac{145}{2.5}[/tex] =58 miles/hour.

If the car is 1.5 times as fast as the truck, then the velocity of the car is:

  • 58 miles/hour × 1.5 = 87 miles/hour

if they start moving towards each other simultaneously, their total velocity is

58+87=145 miles/hour

Thus they meet in [tex]\frac{145 miles}{145 miles/hour} =1 hour[/tex]

Answer:

1 hour
