Upon start of the second runner, the two are \"8%2A%281%2F2%29=4\" miles apart. \r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Approach speed of the second runner to the first runner is \"11-8=3\" mph.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x, time to close the distance of the 4 miles;
\n" ); document.write( "\"3x=4\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=4%2F3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1 hour 20 minutes
