To find the distance traveled, we multiply the speed by the time. In this case, one person travels 60t miles in one direction, and the other person travels 50t miles in the other direction. So at any time t, the distance between the two people is 60t + 50t = 110t.
Given that the distance between them is 440 miles, we can solve for t with the following equation:
110t = 440
t = 4 hours
