simple equations
A and B start at noon from two towns 60 km apart, A's rate of walking is twice that of B's. If they walk 5 hours before they meet, find their rate of walking.
answer:
A = 8 km/hr, B = 4 km/hr
answer:
A = 8 km/hr, B = 4 km/hr
simple equation
If P and Q represent two towns 48 kms apart, and if A is walking from P to Q at 7 km/hr while B walks from Q to P at 5 km/hr, both starting at 9:00 am, at what time will they be 12 km apart?
