<PRE><B>Question 1094022</B>
Adam and Leslie are 200 feet apart.
 They start running towards each other.
 Adam runs at an average of 17 ft/s and Leslie runs at 13 ft/s.
 How far has Adam run when they meet?
:
Find how many seconds for them to meet
let t = time in seconds
:
17t + 13t = 200
30t = 200
t = 200/30
t = 6{{{2/3}}} seconds for them to meet
:
Find how far Adam runs in this time
17 * 6{{{2/3}}} = 113{{{1/3}}} feet </PRE>
