A and B walk around a circular track. They start at 8 am from the same point in the opposite directions. A and B walk at a speed of 2 rounds per hour and 3 rounds per hour respectively. How many times shall they cross each other before 9:30 am?
A does 1 round per 30 minutes
B does 1 round per 20 minutes
How many minutes would it take making a round together:
x/30 + x/20 = 1
2x + 3x = 60
5x = 60
x = 12
They meet every 12 minutes.
