Two cyclists left each other at the same time from two villages. The speed of one cyclist is 200m per minute and another is 300mm per minute. Find the distance between the villages if after 5 minutes the distance between the cyclists is 2 km.

Let’s calculate how far the first cyclist traveled in five minutes:

200 * 5 = 1000 meters – the first cyclist traveled in five minutes.

Let us express the found distance in kilometers:

1 km = 1000 m.

Let’s calculate the distance covered by the second cyclist in five minutes:

300 * 5 = 1500 meters – the second cyclist passed in five minutes.

Let us express the second found distance in kilometers and meters:

1500 m = 1000 m + 500 m = 1000: 1000 + 500 m = 1 km 500 m.

Let’s calculate the distance between the villages:

2 km + 1 km + 1 km 500 m = 4 km 500 m – the distance between the villages.

Answer: the distance between the villages is 4 km 500 m.
