Question 635223: My friend and i are heading to board a plane. My friend rides ao an escalator while i walk alongside the escalator. If my friend is travelling at 6miles per hour while i am walking at 4 miles per hour. How far (approximately) will my friend be ahead of me after 2o minutes? Pls, show full working so i can understand it. Thanks Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
Every hour he will be 2 miles farther ahead of you. 20 minutes is 1/3 hour.
And where in the world can you find an escalator that you can ride for 20 minutes at 6 miles per hour? Actually the world's longest escalators, about 230 feet, have a speed of right around 1 mile per hour.
