Question 1007669: you hike uphill at a rate of 200 feet per minute. your friend hikes downhill on the same trail at a rate of 250 feet per minute. how long will be until you meet? Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
It depends on where the two hikers start relative to each other. It is possible that they never meet if the uphill hiker starts out uphill of the downhill hiker. They could meet immediately if they start out facing each other a foot apart.
If the downhill hiker is at the top of the hill and the uphill hiker is at the bottom of the hill, then it would be necessary to know if the hill is Mt. Everest or the little 500-foot rise behind your backyard. Next time you post, read your submission and ensure that it makes sense BEFORE you click "Send".
