Tally Lake is 11.25 miles long. Mary starts at one end and kayaks toward the other end, paddling at a constant rate of 2.5 miles per hour. At the same time, Ann starts out from the opposite end and paddles toward Mary at a constant rate of 2 miles per hour. How long will it take for the girls to meet?

2 and a half hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

To find this we add how far Mary and Ann travel and subtract that from the total distance till we get 0

2.5 + 2 = 4.5

11.25 - 4.5 = 6.75  First hour

6.75 - 4.5 = 2.25  Second hour

2.25 is half of 4.5  and half an hour is 30 minutes

2.25 -2.25 = 0 half hour

It will take them 2 and a half hours

The answer is 2 and a half hours

Hope this helps!
