Two motorcyclists left two villages at the same time to meet each other. One of them was driving at a speed of 40 km / h, another 60 km / h, the motorcyclists met after 3 hours. What is the distance between these villages?
1. Let’s calculate the distance that the first motorcyclist traveled before the meeting, if he was on the way for 3 hours, and his speed was 40 km per hour. We need to multiply the speed of the motorcyclist by the travel time.
40 * 3 = 120 km.
2. Now let’s calculate the distance that the second motorcyclist traveled before the meeting, if he was also on the way for 3 hours, and moved at a speed equal to 60 km per hour.
60 * 3 = 180 km.
3. Now let’s calculate the distance between the villages, adding up the path traveled by each of the motorcyclists.
120 + 180 = 300 km.
