Paul and Kristen have planned a long hike. They will both travel the same route and will not stop. Paul starts two hours before Kristen. He walks three miles per hour and does not slow down or speed up. If Kristen walks four miles per hour, and does not slow down or walk faster, how many miles must she walk to catch up with Paul?

Kristen should walk 12 miles to catch up with Paul

Step-by-step explanation:

Paul = 2hrs earlier

      = walks at 3 miles per hour

      = 3miles x 2 hrs = 6 miles

covers 6 miles at the time Kristen starts

Kristen = 4 miles per hour

Paul has a lead of 6 miles.

if Kristen walks another hour of 4 miles she would have covered 8 miles and Paul would have covered 9 miles and if  Kristen were to cover one more hour,

Kristen would be at 12 and so would Paul.

Kristen should walk 12 miles to catch up with Paul
