Question 770857: Maia and John have a huge disagreement over a fraction in Business Math class. Maia walks due east at a constant speed of 2 mph. John runs due west at a constant speed of 6 mph. After 10 miles, Maia finally realizes their argument was silly and that decimals are much easier to talk about, so she stops and calls John to apologize. Assuming that John has brought his cell phone, how far has John run when he receives Maia's phone call? (Remember: Distance = Rate * Time)

-----
Maia's time = 10 miles/2 mph = 5 hrs
John's distance = 6 mph * 5 hrs = 30 miles
