Answer:
2 hours 30 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one
Given data
The total distance to be covered= 20miles
Priya runs at a constant speed of 6 miles an hour
Hence Her speed = 6mph
Jada walks at a constant speed of 2 miles an hour
Hence Her speed = 2mph
let the time taken by them to cover the distance be t
Step two:
from speeed= distance/time
distance= speed*time
so
20=6*t+2*t
20= 6t+2t
20=8t
divide both sides by 8
t= 20/8
t=2.5 hours
That is, it wiil take them 2 hours 30 minutes to meet
The reason is because, the distances covered by them must sum up to 20 miles
