Question

Han and Tyler both started walking toward each other from opposite ends of a 10-mile path. Han walks at a pace of 12 miles per hour and Tyler walks at a pace of 15

miles per hour.
How long does it take for Han and Tyler to meet?
Explain or show your reasoning.

Answer 1

To find out when Han and Tyler will meet, you can use the concept of relative speed. Since they're walking towards each other, their speeds will add up.

The total distance between them is 10 miles, and their combined speed is 12 mph (Han) + 15 mph (Tyler) = 27 mph.

To find the time taken to meet, you can use the formula: Time = Distance / Speed.

Time = 10 miles / 27 mph ≈ 0.37 hours.

Therefore, Han and Tyler will meet in approximately 0.37 hours or about 22 minutes.
