Question

Из пунктов А и В одновременно по направлению друг к другу выходят два пешехода и каждый идет со своей постоянной скоростью. Первый раз расстояние между пешеходами оказалось равным 3 км через 2 часа, а второй раз через 2 часа 40 минут. Найдите расстояние между пунктами А и В.

Answer 1

Первый раз расстояние оказалось 3 км, когда они шли друг к другу.
А второй раз, когда они встретились и разошлись на 3 км.
И между этими событиями прошло 40 минут.
Значит, за 20 минут они прошли 3 км, встретились, разошлись, и еще
за 20 мин удалились на 3 км друг от друга.
Значит, за 20 минут = 1/3 часа они вместе проходят 3 км.
А за 1 час - 3*3 = 9 км. Тогда за первые 2 часа они вместе прошли 18 км.
И им осталось 3 км до встречи.
Расстояние АВ = 18 + 3 = 21 км.

Answer 2

Problem Statement

Two pedestrians start walking towards each other from points A and B, respectively. Each pedestrian walks at a constant speed. The first time they meet, the distance between them is 3 km, which takes 2 hours. The second time they meet, it takes 2 hours and 40 minutes. Find the distance between points A and B.

Solution

Let's assume that the speed of the first pedestrian is x km/h and the speed of the second pedestrian is y km/h.

We know that the distance between the pedestrians is 3 km when they meet for the first time, which takes 2 hours. This can be represented by the equation:

2x + 2y = 3.

Similarly, we know that the distance between the pedestrians is the same when they meet for the second time, which takes 2 hours and 40 minutes (or 2.67 hours). This can be represented by the equation:

2.67x + 2.67y = 3.

To find the distance between points A and B, we need to find the sum of the distances covered by both pedestrians. This can be calculated using the formula:

Distance = Speed × Time.

Let's solve the system of equations to find the values of x and y:

2x + 2y = 3 (Equation 1) 2.67x + 2.67y = 3 (Equation 2)

Multiplying Equation 1 by 2.67 and Equation 2 by 2, we get:

5.34x + 5.34y = 8.01 (Equation 3) 5.34x + 5.34y = 6 (Equation 4)

Subtracting Equation 4 from Equation 3, we get:

5.34x + 5.34y - 5.34x - 5.34y = 8.01 - 6 0 = 2.01

Since the equation 0 = 2.01 is not true, it means that there is no solution to the system of equations. This implies that the given information is inconsistent or there is an error in the problem statement.

Therefore, we cannot determine the distance between points A and B based on the given information.
