Journey of The Dog

Jessica, Warner decided to meet & left their home. And a puppy starts walking down a road. They started at the same time. Their homes are located at 33 KM away from each other.

• Warner walks at 5 miles/hour.
• Jessica walks at 6 miles/hour.

  

The puppy runs from Warner to Jessica and back again with a constant speed of 10 miles/hour.

 
The puppy does not slow down on the turn. How far does the puppy travel in till Jessica and Warner meet?

Know here the distance traveled by puppy! 

Distance in The Dog's Journey!

What was the puzzle? 

First thing on which we need to focus on in how much time Jessica and Warner would meet. Since they are moving towards each other the distance of 33 KM is being covered at 5 + 6 = 11 KM/h.  So they are going to meet each other in 33/11 = 3 hours. Now everything else here can deceive you to find distance covered by puppy. All you need to do is stick to the basics.

Speed = Distance / Time

Distance = Speed * Time 

Distance covered by Puppy = Speed of Puppy * Time for which it traveled.

Distance covered by Puppy = 10 * 3 = 30 KM 

So Puppy travels 30 KM to & fro until Jessica and Warner meets.
