Answer:

53.33 hours or 53 hours and 20 minutes.

Explanation:

Given, one travels at 45 miles/hr and another 30 miles/hour.  

Let, the slower broom, S1 = 30t

According to the Question,

S1 + 800 = 45t....... (1)

S1 = 45t - 800......(2)

t is constant for because time is equal for both.  

Now, putting (1) in equation (2),

30t = 45t - 800

30t - 45t = - 800

15t = 800

t = 53.33  

So, the answer is 53.33 hours.
