1.5 feet per second and Sandy walks 2.2 feet per second, how long will it be before they meet? Answer by rwm(914) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! since they are walking towards each other we can add their speeds together
1.5 +2.2=3.7
they need to go 4780.4 feet
4780.4/3.7 will give us the number of seconds
1292 seconds
21.53 minutes
21 8/15=21min 32 seconds
