Question

Слон и слоненок начали двигаться одновременно навстречу друг другу. Скорость слона 60 м/мин, скорость слоненка 20 м/мин. Слоны встретились через 10 мин. Какое расстояние было между ними сначала?

Answer 1

1) 60+20=80 (м/мин) скорость сближения
2) 80*10=800 (м) было между слонами сначала

Answer 2

Problem Analysis

We are given the speeds of an elephant and its calf moving towards each other. We need to find the initial distance between them before they met.

Solution

To find the initial distance between the elephant and its calf, we can use the formula:

Distance = Speed x Time

Let's calculate the distance traveled by the elephant and the calf separately and then find the initial distance between them.

1. Distance traveled by the elephant: - Speed of the elephant = 60 m/min - Time taken = 10 min - Distance = Speed x Time = 60 m/min x 10 min = 600 m

2. Distance traveled by the calf: - Speed of the calf = 20 m/min - Time taken = 10 min - Distance = Speed x Time = 20 m/min x 10 min = 200 m

3. Initial distance between the elephant and the calf: - Initial distance = Distance traveled by the elephant + Distance traveled by the calf - Initial distance = 600 m + 200 m = 800 m

Therefore, the initial distance between the elephant and its calf was 800 meters.

Answer

The initial distance between the elephant and its calf was 800 meters.
