Persons A and B are 30 km apart. If they leave at the same time and travel in the same direction, A overtakes Bin 60 hours. If they walk toward each other they meet in5 hours. What is the sum of their rates, measured in km per hour?
:
The only part we need to solve this is:
"If they walk toward each other they meet in 5 hours.
What is the sum of their rates, measured in km per hour?"
:
5(A+B) = 30
A + B = 30%2F5
A + B = 6 km/hr
