Marks: +1, -0

Two ants are moving from their farms towards each other. Ant A is moving at a speed of 9 cm per hour and ant B is moving at a speed of 6 cm per hour. If the farms are 60 cm away from each other, what will be the distance ant A travels until meeting ant B?

Validate

Solution:

The ants are moving towards each other, therefore adding their speeds will represent the speed that they are moving towards one another.

60 cm {/} (9 + 6) = 4

hours.
The distance that ant A will travel in 4 hours is

4 × 9 = 36

cm.
