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 explain your reasoning

Answer 1

2.5 miles 30÷12=2.5

Answer 2

2.5 miles

Explanation:

We are given that

Total length of path=10 mile

Han runs at a pace=12 minutes per mile

Tyler runs at a pace=15 minutes per mile

We have to find the distance run by Han after a half hour.

Half hour=30 minutes

Using unitary method

Han runs distance in 12 minutes=1 mile

Han runs distance in 1 minute=
`(1)/(12)` mile

Han runs distance in 30 minutes=
`(1)/(12)* 30=2.5` miles

Hence, Han runs 2.5 miles after half hour.
