Maxwell leaves his home and walks toward Brad's house. One hour later, Brad leaves his home and runs toward Maxwell's house. If the distance between their homes is 24 kilometers, Maxwell's walking speed is 4 km/h, and Brad's running speed is 6 km/h. What is the total time it takes Maxwell before he meets up with Brad?
Choices
A) 3	B) 4	C) 5	D) 6	E) 8
Total Distance = 24 kms   Maxwell Speed = 4 kms/hr   Maxwell travelled for 1hour before Brad started , therefore Maxwell traveled for 4 kms in 1 hour.   Time taken = Total Distance / Relative Speed   Total Distance after Brad started = 20 kms   Relative Speed (Opposite side) (As they are moving towards each other speed would be added ) = 6+ 4=

2 hrs   Distance traveled by Maxwell= Maxwell's speed * time taken = 4 * 2=
