Complete 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 Han run after a half hour

Answer:

2.5 miles

Explanation:

Given :

Distance between Horn and Tyler = 10 miles

Horn's pace = 12 minutes per mile

Tyler's pace = 15 minutes per mile

Horn's distance after half an hour :

Time = Half an hour = 30 minutes

Horn's speed = distance / time

Horn's speed = 1 mile / 12 minutes = 0.83333 miles per minute

Hence, Horn's distance after half an hour :

Distance = speed * time

Distance = 0.83333 miles per minute * 30 minutes

Distance = 2.5 miles
