Question 1026612
Let {{{ d[1] }}} = distance in miles Jim has to travel
until they meet
Let {{{ d[2] }}} = distance in miles Joe has to travel
until they meet
-------------------
Jim's equation:
(1) {{{ d[1] = 60*(10/60 ) }}}
Joe's equation:
(2) {{{ d[2] = 30*( 10/60 ) }}}
-------------------------
( note that I converted minutes to hours )
(1) {{{ d[1] = 10 }}}
(2) {{{ d[2] = 5 }}}
{{{ d[1] + d[2] = 10 + 5 }}}
{{{ d[1] + d[2] = 15 }}}
Jim and Joe were 15 mi apart when they started
