You can put this solution on YOUR website! Emma and her mother jog around a mile-long circular path in opposite directions.
They begin at the same place and time. Emma jogs at a pace of 4mi/h, and her mother runs at 6mi/h.
In. How many minutes will they meet?:
When they meet their total distances will = 1 mi
Let t = time (in hrs) for them to meet
4t + 6t = 1
10t = 1
t = 1/10 hr which is 6 minutes
