Question

Из пунктов А и B одновременно навстречу друг другу выехали мотоциклист и велосипедист. Сколько времени занял у велосипедиста весь путь, если мотоциклисту на это понадобилось 24 минуты, а их встреча произошла через 18 минут после выезда ?

Answer 1

Мото проезжает путь за 24 минуты, значит в минуту он проезжает 1/24 пути
вело проезжает за х минут, в минуту он проезжает 1/х
вместе в минуту проезжают 1/18

1/24+1/х=1/18
1/18-1/24=1/х
1/72=1/х
х=72 минуты

Answer 2

Problem Analysis

We have two points, A and B, and a motorcycle and a bicycle traveling towards each other. We need to find the time it took for the bicycle to travel the entire distance, given that it took the motorcycle 24 minutes and they met 18 minutes after the motorcycle started.

Solution

Let's assume that the time taken by the bicycle to travel the entire distance is x minutes.

We know that the motorcycle took 24 minutes to cover the entire distance, so the time taken by the bicycle to cover the same distance will also be 24 minutes.

We also know that they met 18 minutes after the motorcycle started. This means that the bicycle traveled for 18 minutes less than the motorcycle.

Therefore, the time taken by the bicycle to cover the entire distance is x = 24 - 18 = 6 minutes.

Answer

The bicycle took 6 minutes to travel the entire distance.

Explanation

The motorcycle took 24 minutes to cover the entire distance, and they met 18 minutes after the motorcycle started. Therefore, the bicycle traveled for 18 minutes less than the motorcycle, resulting in a total travel time of 6 minutes for the bicycle.
