Two people walked simultaneously one after the other from the same place around the city. One of them travels at 4 versts per hour, and the second at 3 1/3 versts per hour. The path around that City is 15 versts. How many hours did they meet and how many times did each of them walk around the city?

4 – 3 * 1/3 = 2/3 (versts) for that much in the first hour the second traveler will lag behind the first.

The travelers will come together again when the lag is equal to the length of the path around the city, that is, 15 versts.
15: 2/3 = 22.5 (hours) it will take to compare
4 * 22 = 90 (versts) the first traveler will pass during this time.

90: 15 = 6 (times) the first traveler will go around the city

The second traveler will walk 15 versts less, which means he will make one less circle, that is, 5.

Answer: The travelers will come together again in 22.5 hours. The first will go around the city 6 times, and the second 5.
