59. A Walk. One man set out for a walk from Appleminster to Boniham at noon, and his friend left Boniham for Appleminster at two o'clock of the same day. On the way, they met. The meeting took place at five minutes to five, after which the friends arrived simultaneously at their final destinations. When did they finish their journey
59. It should be noted (and this is the key to the solution) that the person from B. covers 7 km in the same time that the person from E. covers 5 km. Let's assume, for example, that the distance between the cities is 24 km, then they met 14 km from E. The person from E. was moving at a speed of \(3 \frac{3}{7}\) km/h, and the person from B. - at a speed of \(4 \frac{4}{5}\) km/h. Both completed their journey at 7 p.m.
