Emily runs at a constant speed of 12 miles per hour, while michelle runs at a constant speed of 8 miles per hour. they both start in the sam place on a circular track 1/4 mile long and run in opposite directions. how many miles will emily have run when they meet for the tenth time?

Heya, here is your Answer :-

First we'll consider the following information :

let Time taken by both of them to meet for the first time be x.

Speed (mi/h) Time (hours) Distance (miles)

Emily 12 x 12x

Michelle 8 x 8x

According to the Question,

12x + 8x =

20x =

x =

x =

So,

Time is 1/80 hours.

Then,

Distance covered by Emily when they

first meet = 12x = 12 * = 3/20 miles

Distance covered by Michelle when they

first meet = 8x = 8 * = 1/10 miles

So,

Distance covered by Emily after 10 rounds or after

they meet 10 times = = 3/2 = 1.5 miles

So,

Emily would have traveled 1.5 miles after the both meet for the Tenth Time.
