Question 458496: Two runners approaching each other on a straight track have constant speeds of 4.5m/s and 3.5m/s, respectively, when they are 100m apart. How long will it take for the runners to meet, and at what position will they meet if they maintain these speeds?

4.5+3.5=8 m/s
100 m/8 m/s=12.5 seconds
12.5x4.5=56.25
If we take the faster runners starting position as 0, the two runners meet at the 56.25 meter mark..
