Question

Two marathon runners leave the starting gate, one at 16 mph and the other at 12 mph. If they maintain the pace, how long will it take for them to be 1/3 of a mile apart?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

v relative​=16−12=4mph

distance= v relative​×t

1/3=4t

Now, solve for t

t=1/3×4.  t=1/12 hours
