Answer:
100 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
A -----------P------------------ B
tom start at 14:20 with speed of 38mph
ben with speed 42mph
meeting time is 15:35
time difference is 75 min = 75/60 = 1.25 hours
distance travelled by tom is AP
AP = v * t
= 38 * 1.25
= 47.5 miles
distance travelled by ben is BP
BP = v * t
= 42 * 1.25
= 52.5 miles
distance between two cities is AB = AP + PB
= 47.5 + 52.5
= 100 miles
