Question 1105035: Chris and Pat exercise together by running in opposite directions around a 108m circular track for 45 minutes. Starting together, Chris' velocity is 5 2/3 m per second while Pat runs 3 1/3 m/s. How many times do they pass one another in 45 minutes? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Their combined speed is 9 m/sec.
They will meet each other every 108/9=12 seconds or 5 times a minute.
That is 225 passes in 45 minutes.
