Noah immediately ran home, got a bottle of water, and ran back to meet his grandfather who never stopped walking at a steady pace. How many meters from the house did they meet if noah ran four times as fast as his grandfather walked?.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

200 x 4 = 800 - 200 = 600300 x 4 = 1200 - 800 - (800 - 300) = 100325 x 4 = 1300 - 800 - (800 - 325) = -25320 x 4 = 1280 - 800 - (800 - 320) = 480 - 480 = 0

Therefore, they met 480 meters from the house.
