Description
Jill is 11 kilometers away from Joe. Both begin to walk toward each other at the same time. Jill walks at 2.5 kilometers per hour. They meet in 2 hours. How fast is Joe walking?
Explanation & Answer
Jill's speed = 2.5kph
Distance = 11km
time = 2 h
Joe's speed = x
You have the speed of Jill. You have the total speed. You want the speed of Joe. Get it as follows:
2.5 kph +x = 11km/2h
= 5.5 kph
x= 5.5kph - 2.5kph
x= 3kph
