Question
wo friends decide to walk towards each other from opposite ends of a 52 km road. Leo can walk 6 km in one hour and Roma can walk 7 km in one hour. They both start walking at the same time.How many hours will pass between when they start walking and when they meet?Type your answer as a number without units.
Solution
To solve this problem, we first need to understand that Leo and Roma are walking towards each other at a combined speed of 6 km/hour (Leo's speed) + 7 km/hour (Roma's speed) = 13 km/hour.
Next, we need to find out how long it will take for them to cover the 52 km distance of the road. We do this by dividing the total distance by their combined speed:
52 km ÷ 13 km/hour = 4 hours
So, it will take 4 hours for Leo and Roma to meet.
