Question

At 10:00 am, Han and Tyler both started running toward each other from opposite ends of a 10 mile path along a river. Han runs at a pace of 12 minutes per mile Tyler runs at a pace of 15 minutes per mile, HOW FAR DOES HE RUN AFTER AN HOUR?

Answer 1

Answer:

Tyler runs 4 miles, and Han runs 5 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

60 minutes in an hour.

60/12=5 miles for Han

60/15=4 miles for Tyler

Answer 2

Answer:

Figure out how far each ran in an hour - and see if that is more than the halfway

Do a unit analysis to get the units you want distance/hour (or hour/distance)

So Han runs 12 minutes/mile ( 1hour/60minutes) = distance in one hour = 5 miles.

Tyler runs at 15 minutes/mile (1hour/60 minutes) => 4 miles in one hour

So if Hans ran 5 miles east (right) and Tyler 5 miles west (left opposite) - they did not meet.
