A woman runs from point B-A at 3miles/hrs. A man runs at 6miles/hrs from A-B. Distance from A-B is 15miles. where do they meet?
If they were running at the same rate, they would meet right in the middle, at 7.5 miles. Since the Man is running twice as fast, they meet in the middle of 7.5 miles, closer to the Woman's side, so at 3.75 miles away from point B.
