maxwell leaves his home and walks toward brad ' s house at the same time that brad leaves his home and runs toward maxwell ' s house . if the distance between their homes is 65 kilometers , maxwell ' s walking speed is 2 km / h , and brad ' s running speed is 3 km / h . what is the distance traveled by maxwell when they meet in the middle ?
"consider max starts from point a and brad starts from point b and move towards each other . assume they shall meet at point o after time ' t ' . the question asks us to find oa . from the question stem we can make out : - distance oa = 50 km - distance ob = > 2 xt = 65 - 3 xt ( i . e distance = speed x time ) = > 5 t = 65 hence t = 13 oa = 2 x 13 = 26 km answer : e"
multiply(2, divide(65, add(2, 3)))
