Jim paddles from one shore of a lake 3 miles wide at 4 mph, and John paddles from the opposite shore at 5 mph. How long will they travel before they meet?

Question and answer

They will travel 20 minutes before they meet. The space between them is shrinking at the rate of (4 + 5) = 9 mph. The lake is 3 miles wide, so the space between them starts out at 3 miles, and shrinks to zero in 3/9 = 1/3 of an hour = 20 minutes. [ ]
