Pedestrian cyclist meeting

A pedestrian walked from Tábor to Veselí nad Lužnicí at a speed of 6 km/h. At the same time, a cyclist rode in the opposite direction at a speed of 24 km/h. The distance between the cities is 36 km. How long and far from Tábor will the pedestrian and the cyclist meet?

Final Answer:

t =  1.2 h
s1 =  7.2 km

Step-by-step explanation:

v1=6 km/h v2=24 km/h s=36 km  v=v1+v2=6+24=30 km/h  s = vt  t=s/v=36/30=1.2 h
s1=v1 t=6 1.2=7.2 km
