Answer:
30 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
that problem description is imprecise.
I think what is meant here : they each keep jogging at their own same speed.
Diane's speed is 1/3 miles / 10 min.
Jack's speed is 2/3 miles / 10 min.
now, to bring this to regular miles/hour format, we need to find the factor between 10 minutes and an hour (60 minutes) and multiply numerator and denominator (top and bottom of the ratio) by it.
60/10 = 6.
so, we need to multiply both speeds up there by 6/6 to get the miles/hour speeds.
Diane : (1/3 × 6) / hour = 2 miles / hour
Jack : (2/3 × 6) / hour = 4 miles / hour
since Jack is running twice as fast as Diane, she will finish one length in the same time he finishes a round trip (back and forth).
Diane running 1 mile going 2 miles/hour takes her 30 minutes.
Jack running 2 miles (back and forth) going 4 miles/hour will take him also 30 minutes.
so, they will meet at his starting point after 30 minutes.
