You Can't Solve This Maths Question by ALVA001: 2:16pm On Sep 28, 2015 |
Bryan and Kathleen live 150miles apart. They each drive towards the other's house along a straight road connecting the two. Bryan drives @ a constant rate of 30M/hr and kath drives @ 50 M/hr. If Bryan and kath leave dia houses @ d same time, how many miles are they from bryans house when they meet? |

boujaye:Actually is a mathematics question ,simple algebra (and Logic) Distance = Speed X Time When they meet they would both have been travelling for the same time T and the distance covered by both of them would be 150 So 150 = 30T + 50T = 80T they will meet after 150/80T =1.875 hours Brian would have travelled 1.875 X 30 km =56.25 km while Kath would have travelled 1.875 x 50 m = 93.75 km 93.75 + 56.25 = 150 So they will be 56.25 from Brian's and 93.75 from Kath's This is a JSS question Why is this question in the politics section 8 Likes 1 Share |

ALVA001:60 mins = 1hr therefore kath drives @ 50 miles in 60 mins while Bryan drive @ 30 mins in 60 mins kath and Bryan will drive for 1hr 52 mins and 30 secs and the distance from BRYAN'S HOUSE will be 56.25 miles when they both meet. Kath will cover 93.75 miles and Bryan will cover 56.25 miles. Don't asked me working 2 Likes |

Re: You Can't Solve This Maths Question by Volksfuhrer(m): 5:44pm On Sep 28, 2015 |
PappyMason: Even though the distance travelled by each would vary, but the two must meet at the same time elapsed. After all, both left home at the same time. 1 Like |

The distance has been stated in d question ....150miles QED since the question is incomplete and not stating where the distance shld be measured. Is it from point C (final distance) or from the initial distance. We just ve to assume dat the distance still remain at same place at time 0s moving at the same constand velocity |
