A hiker walking at a constant rate of 4 miles per hour is passed by a cyclist travelling in the same direction along the same path at a constant rate of 24 miles per hour. the cyclist stopswaits for the hiker 5 min after passing her while the hiker continues to walk at her constant rate. how many minutes must the cyclist wait until the hiker catches up
Options
A) 6 2/3	B) 15	C) 20	D) 25	E) 26 2/3
Here is how I did it:   The cyclist travels 24 miles in 60 mins, so in 5 mins he will travel [(24*5)/60] miles, which equals 2 miles in 5 mins.   Now the hiker travels 4 miles in 60 mins. To travel 2 miles, he will take [(60*2)/4=

<output>30</output>
30 mins.   30-5= 
<gadget id="calculator">30-5</gadget>
<output>25</output>
25 mins   25
<result>D</result>
