Question 345476
A and B run at constant velocities along a circular track.
 The circumference of the track is 1320 meters.
 If they run in opposite directions, they meet every 2 minutes;
 if they run in the same direction, they are together every 22 minutes.
 Find their velocities.
:
Find the sum of their velocities, 
when they meet, they will have traveled a total of 1320 meters in two minutes
Speed = dist/time
(V1 + V2) = {{{1320/2}}}
V1 + V2 = 660 m/min
:
When they travel the same directions 
V1 - V2 = {{{1320/22}}}
V1 - V2 = 60 m/min
:
Use elimination
V1 + V2 = 660
V1 - V2 = 60
-----------------addition eliminates V2
2V1 = 720
V1 = {{{720/2}}}
V1 = 360 m/sec
and
V2 = 660 - 360
V2 = 300 m/sec
:
:
We can confirm this using the same direction scenario
Faster runner travels 22 * 360 = 7920 meters
Slower runner travels 22 * 300 = 6600 meters
----------------------------------------------
difference is exactly 1 lap  or  1320 meters
