Question 361015
Two friends live 60 miles apart.  The decide to ride their bikes to meet each other.  Friend 1 rides at 21 mph. Friend 2 rides at 15 mph.  They leave at the same time.  How long will it take them to meet and how far did each one ride?
..
distance = 60 miles
friend1 =21 mph
friend 2= 15 mph.
they are riding towards each other
so speed = 21+15 = 36 mph
..
t=d/r
t=60/36
=1.66 hours
d=rt
friend 1 distance = 1.66*21=35 miles
friend 2 = 25 miles
