Question 121090: If Jim road his bike 6 miles per hour one way and Sarah walked 1/3 of a mile per hour the other way, how long would it take them to be 21 miles apart? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! For each one, d = rxt
and the sum of their distances needs to be 21 mi
For Jim:
For Sarah:
multiply both sides by 3 hrs answer
or hrs min hrs min
I can check this. I should get the same answer
if Jim alone went 21 miles at 6.333 mi/hr close enough
