From two cities, the distance between which is 34 km, two tourists came out to meet each other at the same time

From two cities, the distance between which is 34 km, two tourists came out to meet each other at the same time; one of them runs 1.5 km more per hour than the other. After 4 full one-fourth hours, the tourists met. How many kilometers per hour did each tourist go?

1. Let’s convert an ordinary fraction to a decimal.

4 1/4 = 4 * 4 + 1/4 = 17/4 = 4.25;

2. Let’s determine how many more kilometers a tourist traveled in 4.25 hours, the speed of which was 1.5 kilometers per hour more.

1.5 * 4.25 = 6.375 kilometers.

3. Let’s find out which way they would go if they walked at the same speed.

34 – 6.375 = 27.625 kilometers.

4. Find out how many kilometers the first tourist traveled.

27.625 / 2 = 13.8125 kilometers.

5. We find at what speed per hour he walked.

13.8125 / 4.25 = 3.25 kilometers.

6. Let’s calculate with what speed the second tourist was moving per hour.

3.25 + 1.5 = 4.75 kilometers.

Answer: The speed of the first tourist was 3.25 kilometers per hour, and the second was 4.75 kilometers per hour.
