town x and town y were 980 km apart. At 8a.m kay travelled from town x to town y while jolin travelled from town y to town x
they probably met, unless one or both stopped in to get a drink on the way.
Step 1: Determine the rate of travel for both Kay and Jolin.
- Let's assume that Kay's speed is "k" km/h and Jolin's speed is "j" km/h.
Step 2: Calculate the time it takes for each person to reach their destination.
- We'll use the formula: distance = speed × time.
For Kay:
- Distance = 980 km
- Speed = k km/h
- Time = distance / speed
= 980 km / k km/h
= (980/k) hours
For Jolin:
- Distance = 980 km
- Speed = j km/h
- Time = distance / speed
= 980 km / j km/h
= (980/j) hours
Step 3: Determine the starting time and calculate the arrival time for both persons.
- Assuming they both started at 8 a.m., we'll calculate the arrival time in relation to that.
For Kay:
- Starting time = 8 a.m.
- Arrival time = 8 a.m. + (980/k) hours
For Jolin:
- Starting time = 8 a.m.
- Arrival time = 8 a.m. + (980/j) hours
Note: The specific values of k and j are not provided, so we cannot calculate the exact times.
