Question 281550: Two people running pass each other. They continue in opposite directions. The first person is running at 6 mph. The other one is running at 10 mph. How many minutes will pass before they are at least 2 miles apart? Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 6t+10t=2
they run 16 miles in one hour one 10 and the other 6
16t=2
we want to know about 2 miles
t=1/8
1/8 hour before they are two miles apart
60/8= 7.5 minutes
