The speed of a cyclist is 5 times the speed of a pedestrian. once they set off to meet each other at the same time from points, the distance between which is 30 km. What path will the cyclist take before meeting a pedestrian?

1) 1 + 5 = 6 (hours) – the whole path must be divided into so many parts.
2) 30: 6 = 5 (km) – a pedestrian will pass.
3) 30 – 5 = 25 (km) – a cyclist will pass.
Note. The speed of a cyclist is five times the speed of a pedestrian, which means that in a unit of time he will travel five times more than a pedestrian. The travel time is the same for both the cyclist and the pedestrian. During the journey, a cyclist will cover a path five times longer than a pedestrian. This means that the entire path of 30 kilometers will consist of six identical parts: one covered by a pedestrian and five covered by a cyclist.
Answer: 25 kilometers.
