Two skiers simultaneously drove towards each other and after 45 minutes met on the track.

Two skiers simultaneously drove towards each other and after 45 minutes met on the track. The speed of one was 85 m / s, and the speed of the other was 130 m / s. How long is the track?

Let’s determine the speed with which both skiers approach each other:

85 + 130 = 215 m / min – speed of convergence of skiers.

Based on the formula, distance is speed multiplied by time. Determine the distance between skiers:

S = 215 * 45 = 9675 meters.

Answer: the length of the track is 9675 meters.
