Question

* A panda and a giraffe are 300 feet apart when they start moving towards each other. The panda is running at a speed of P feet per minute, and the giraffe is running G feet per minute faster. How fast are they approaching each other?

Answer 1

Answer:

(2P + G) ft/min

Step-by-step explanation:

      P = speed of panda

P + G = speed of giraffe

rate of approach = speed of panda + speed of giraffe

                            =            P              +          P + G

                            = 2P + G

The panda and the giraffe are approaching each other at a rate

of (2P + G) ft/min.
