document.write( "The original distance was 34 km, but at the time Ananda started,\r\n" );
document.write( "the distance between the two girls was just 34-4 = 30 kilometers.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Their approaching rate was  4 + 6 = 10 km/h.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "so the time before they met each other was  30/10 = 3 hours,\r\n" );
document.write( "counting from the moment, when Amanda started her way.\r\n" );
