Question

You hike uphill at a rate of 200 feet per minute. Your friend hikes downhill on a same trail at a rate of 250 feet per minute. How long will it be until you meet?

Answer 1

After x/450 minutes

Explanation:

The speed uphill is 200 ft/min

The speed down hill is 250 ft/min

Lets take the hiking distance top to down hill is x ft

Remember speed=distance/time

Relative speed =200+250=450ft/min

Time to meet=distance/relative speed

Time to meet=x/450 min
