At 9 a.m., Cody and Bryan left Park F and drove towards Park G at average speeds of 94 km/h and 60 km/h respectively. Upon reaching Park G, Cody rested for 2 hours. He then headed back for Park F at an average speed of 94 km/h along the same route. Cody and Bryan met each other on their way at 1 p.m.
- How far had Cody covered when he met Bryan on the way?
- How far apart were the two parks?
(a)
Time taken by Bryan = 4 h
Time taken by Cody = 4 - 2 = 2 h
Distance covered by Cody when he met Bryan
= 2 x 94
= 188 km
(b)
Distance travelled by Bryan
= 4 x 60
= 240 km
Distance of the two parks
= (188 + 240) ÷ 2
= 428 ÷ 2
= 214 km
Answer(s): (a) 188 km; (b) 214 km
