Answer:
3 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
speed of Bharat = 12kilometers / hour
speed of Ingrid=14 kilometers / hour
For this problem we'll be using formula relating time, distance and speed.i.e
Distance = speed x time
Suppose Bharat is riding at a distance of 'b' kilometers, therefore time taken by him will be:
Time = distance/ speed
Time= b/12 hours.
Also, Ingrid can ride the distance at this time with speed of 14km/hr
The distance would be,
Distance = speed x time
Distance = 14 x (b/12) => 14b/12
Distance= 7b/6
Let '' be the distance that Bharat have covered after time 't'
therefore, = 12 x t
Let ' ' be the distance that Ingrid have covered after time 't'
therefore, = 14 x t
In order to find the time when they are 78 kilometers apart, we will add and
, because they are travelling in opposite direction creating distance between them.
So,
+
= 78
( 14 x t) + (12 x t) =78
14t + 12t =78
26t= 78
t= 78/26
t= 3hours.
thus, it will take 3 hours until they are 78 kilometers apart
