Answer 1

In this question, you are given Beth velocity(8mph) and Brandon velocity(12mph). To answer this question, you will need to find the initial distance of Beth and Brandon. The calculation would be:

Initial distance= Beth velocity * duration= 8 mph * 15 minutes * hour/60 minutes= 2miles

After that, the calculation would be:

beth_velocity * time + initial distance = brandon_velocity * time
8mph * time + 2 miles= 12 mph* time
4mph * time = 2 miles
time= 2 miles / 4 mph= 1/2 hour = 30 minutes
