Sloth meeting distance

There are two sloths in the tree's branches. One is 2.5 m from the trunk, and the other is on the other side of the tree, 4 m from the trunk. The sloths head out to get to know each other. Calculate how far from the log they will meet if they climb at the same constant speed of 0.24 km/h and set off at the same time.

Final Answer:

x =  0.75 m

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} x_1=\frac{2.5-4}{2}=-\frac{3}{4}=-0.75\text{m} \\ x=|x_1|=|(-0.75)|=\frac{3}{4}\text{m}=0.75\text{m} \end{gathered}$$
