The distance between cities is 156 km. Two cyclists came out of them to meet each other. One drives 13.6 km per hour, and the other 10.4 km. In how many hours will they meet?
1. Two cyclists are riding towards each other. Let’s find how much the distance between them decreases every hour:
13.6 + 10.4 = 24 km.
2. Cyclists must drive 156 km together to the meeting point. They will cover this distance in 156/24 = 6.5 hours.
Answer: The cyclists will meet in 6.5 hours.
