Question

if Elena and Jada was 12 miles apart and elana traveled at a constant speed at 5mi/h and Jada traveled at a constant speed at 3mi/h how many min did it take them to meet each other

Answer 1

Elena and Jada take 1.5 hours or 90 minutes to meet each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

Elena and Jada are 12 miles apart and traveling towards each other. Elena is traveling at a speed of 5 mi/h and Jada is traveling at a speed of 3 mi/h.

To find the time it takes for them to meet, we can use the formula:

Time = Distance / Speed

The time it takes for Elena to meet Jada is 12 miles / (5 mi/h + 3 mi/h) = 12 miles / 8 mi/h = 1.5 hours.

To convert hours to minutes, we multiply by 60:

1.5 hours * 60 minutes/hour = 90 minutes.
