Let the distance from A to B is
D
Then, the distance from B to A is also
D.
Let us use the distance formula to find
D.
We know that:
D = Speed *
Time
Given that the speed from A to B is S1 =
4
==> D = 4 * T1
Also
given that the speed from B to A is S2 = 6
==> D = 6
* T2
Then D = D
==> 4T1
= 6T2 .............(1)
But we know that the total time is
45 min
==> 45 min = 3/4
hour.
==> T1 + T2 =
3/4
We will substitute into
(1).
==> 4T1 = 6 ( 3/4 -
T1)
==> 4T1 = 9/2 -
6T1
==> 10T1 =
9/2
==> T1 = 9/20 = 0.45
hour
==> T2 = 3/4 - 9/20 = 6/20 = 0.3
hour
Then D = 4*T1 = 4* 0.45 = 1.8
km
Then, the distance is 1.8
km.
