Answer 1

Пешеход через 3 часа встретил велосипед а велосипед через полтора часа встретил пешехода

Answer 2

Problem Setup

A pedestrian leaves a village for a city at the same time a cyclist leaves the city for the village. The pedestrian arrives in the city after 6 hours, while the cyclist arrives in the village after 3 hours. We need to determine when they will meet after the start of their respective journeys.

Solution

Let's denote the speed of the pedestrian as p and the speed of the cyclist as c. We can use the formula: distance = speed × time to solve the problem.

Calculations

The distance covered by the pedestrian in 6 hours is 6p, and the distance covered by the cyclist in 3 hours is 3c.

Since they meet at the same point, the total distance covered by both of them is the same. Therefore, we can write the equation: 6p = 3c

Conclusion

By solving the equation 6p = 3c, we can find the relationship between the speeds of the pedestrian and the cyclist. This will help us determine when they will meet after the start of their journeys.
