Question

Mi and sanjana decide to take a 8 mile hike around a mountain. They start at 8:00 am, but hike in opposite directions. Mia's hiking speed is 3 mph and Sanjana's hiking speed is 5 mph. In how long will they meet? At what time will the meet?

PLEASE HELP QUICK

Answer 1

they will meet in 1 hour (9:00 AM)

Explanation:

since mia goes 3 mph, and sanjana goes 5 mph, the total distance they travel is 8mph because 5+3=8. the distance is 8 miles, so 8/8=1 hour so 8 am +1 hour=9:00 AM
