Answer: they will meet after 3 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent the number of hours it will take them to meet.

A walker and a cyclist are 45 miles apart. If they move towards each other, in t hours, they would have covered a total of 45 miles

Distance = speed × time

They move towards each other with speeds of 5 mph and 10 mph respectively. It means that the distance covered by the walker in t hours is 5 × t = 5t

Also, the distance covered by the cyclist in t hours is 10 × t = 10t

Since the total distance covered us 45 miles, then

5t + 10t = 45

15t = 45

t = 45/15

t = 3 hours

The average speed of a car during 5 hours is 50 miles per hour. What is the total distance traveled by the car?
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

250 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that the time (t) equals 5 hours and that the rate (r) equals 50 mph. So knowing that, we can use the formula t*r=distance. We plug in the numbers and we get 250 miles.

Another way to think about this is, since we go 5 hours and 50 miles per hour, every hour we go 50 miles and we do that for 5 hours, so we go 50, 100, 150, 200, 250.
