the truck can cover 145 miles in 2.5 hours, so the speed of the truck is
145÷2.5=58 miles per hour
the car's speed is 1.5 times faster: 58×1.5=87 miles per hour
suppose in x hours they will meet:
distance covered by truck in x hour: 58x
distance covered by car in x hour: 87x
total distance: 145 miles
58x+87x=145
x=1
