Two cyclists simultaneously left two stations towards each other from stations 72 km as 1 speed

Two cyclists simultaneously left two stations towards each other from stations 72 km as 1 speed of the first cyclist 13 km / h 2 2 km / h less than 1 at what distance from each station the meeting will take place.

It is known that the distance between stations is 72 km, and the speed of the first cyclist is 13 km / h.

Let’s determine the speed at which the second moves:

13 – 2 = 11 km / h.

Let’s calculate their convergence speed:

13 + 11 = 24 km / h.

We will calculate the required time before meeting the cyclists after their departure:

72/24 = 3 hours.

Let’s determine the distance that the first cyclist will travel to the meeting:

3 * 13 = 39 km, distance from 1 station during the meeting.

Let’s calculate the distance from 2 stations:

3 – 11 = 33 km.
