Question 4438: I think I know the answer, but I need to know if I'm right: Brian leaves Eagle Nest Campground at 8:30 am, and hikes along a trail at 4kph. One hour later, Rob leaves the same campground and hikes along the same trail at 6 kph. At what time of day will he catch up with Brian? (I think that they meet at 2:30 pm. Am I correct, if not can you help me figure out where I went wrong?) Thanks

at the time of both mee they would have travelled same distance and meet at same time.
let it be x
time = distance / speed
time taken by Brian = x/ 4
time taken by Rob = x/6
x/4 - x/6 = 1
3x/12 - 2x/12 = 1
x =12
to travel 12 miles it takes 3 hrs for Brian (12/4)
they will meet at 11.30 am
