Question

2 мотоциклиста выехали одновременно из 2 поселков навстречу друг другу. 1 из них ехал со скоростью 40 километров в час, другой 60 километров в час. Мотоциклисты встретились через 3 часа. Какое расстояние между этими двумя поселками .

Answer 1

Calculation of the Distance Between the Two Villages

To calculate the distance between the two villages, we can use the formula:

Distance = Speed x Time

Let's calculate the distance using the given information:

- Motorcyclist 1 was traveling at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour. - Motorcyclist 2 was traveling at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour. - The motorcyclists met after 3 hours.

For Motorcyclist 1: Distance covered by Motorcyclist 1 = Speed x Time = 40 km/h x 3 h = 120 km

For Motorcyclist 2: Distance covered by Motorcyclist 2 = Speed x Time = 60 km/h x 3 h = 180 km

Therefore, the distance between the two villages is the sum of the distances covered by both motorcyclists:

Total distance = Distance covered by Motorcyclist 1 + Distance covered by Motorcyclist 2 = 120 km + 180 km = 300 km

So, the distance between the two villages is 300 kilometers.
