Question 1013767: Two hikers leave at the same time traveling in opposite directions. One is walking 4 mph the other is jogging at 5 mph. How long can they talk on Walkie talkies that have a 15 mile range. How far can each walk before they loose communication? Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The distance between them is increasing at 9 miles per hour (4+5). At that rate, it will take
t = 15/9 = 1 2/3 hours = 1 hour 40 minutes before they lose communication.
