Question 16
Towns A and B are 1.26 km apart. At 9:00 a.m., Aaron starts cycling from A to B at 72 metres per minute, while Jeremy starts from B to A at 108 metres per minute. At 9:04 a.m., Kyle starts from A to B at 144 metres per minute. What is the distance, in metres, between Kyle and Jeremy when Aaron first meets one of them?
Interpretation: All three travel along the same route at their stated constant speeds. “Meets” means after Aaron starts; Kyle’s later departure is not an encounter at 9:00.
Answer format: an integer without units. Leading zeros are optional; the source uses four digit boxes.
