Answer:

19 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Tom and Bob start to walk towards each other at 18 feet per minute and 12 feet per minute respectively. Per one minute they together walk

18 + 12 = 30 feet.

Since the distance betwewen them is 570 feet, then it takes them

$\dfrac{570}{30}=19\ \text{minutes}.$
