Q. two pedestrians left two villages simultaneously and walked towards each other, meeting after 3 hours.
The first pedestrian walked 4 km in an hour, and the second walked 6 km.
Find the distance between their villages.
;
The distance (d) between the villages will be the sum of the two walker's distances when they meet.
:
Write a distance equation, dist = time * speed
d = 3(6) + 3(4)
d = 18 + 12
d = 30 km
