They are running in opposite directions so the distance between them depends on the sum of their speeds:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%0D%0AV=v%5B1%5D%2Bv%5B2%5D%0D%0A\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%0D%0At=d%2FV=d%2F%28v%5B1%5D%2Bv%5B2%5D%29=2%2F%285%2B3%29%0D%0A\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so t is 1/4 hour or 15min\r
\n" ); document.write( "
