Two pedestrians came out at the same time towards each other and met after 2.5 hours. The speed of the first pedestrian is 4.2 km / h, and the speed of the second is 5.2 km / h. What was the distance between the pedestrians at the beginning of the movement?
1. Let us determine how many kilometers per 1 hour of travel the pedestrians approached each other.
4.2 + 5.2 = 9.4 kilometers.
2. Find the distance that was between the pedestrians initially, if it is known that the meeting took place 2.5 hours after the start of the movement.
2.5 * 9.4 = 23.5 kilometers.
Answer: There was a distance of 23.5 kilometers between pedestrians at the beginning of the path.
