15 minutes since the combined speed of both cyclists is 20 mph away from one another. Takes 1/4 of an hour to travel 1/4 of that distance.
Practical Answer If the distance between Earth and Venus is to be maximum, then the two planets would have to be on opposite sides of the Sun. There would be no way to send radio waves to Venus in this situation as the waves cannot travel through the Sun. So, in reality, this question has no answer.Theoretical Answer For the sake of curiosity, lets assume the waves travel through the Sun in a straight line.: Earth's average distance from the sun = 93,000,000 miles Venus' average distance from the sun = 67,200,000 miles Max separation (opposite directions from the sun) = 160,200,000 miles Speed of radio (light) = 186,282 mi/sec Time for a radio or radar return = 2 x (160,200,000 / 186,282) = 1,720 seconds = 28-2/3 minutes(rounded)

To prepare for a New Year’s parade, John practiced marching and playing his tuba for 15 minutes. He took a break and then practiced 25 more minutes. How many minutes did Jordan practice in all?
Exactly 90 minutes, not including the organ pre-show (15-20 minutes) and walk-out music (5 minutes).
Two cyclists are traveling the same path. The first cyclist stops every 11 minutes to take a drink. The second cyclist stops every 15 minutes to take a drink. If the cyclists continue to stop at the same rate, after how many minutes will the cyclists be stopped at the same rate?

A month can have 28 to 31 days. Averaging these out, 22000 minutes = 0.502 months, approx.
3 hours 20 minutes.
107 hours 41 minutes at an average of 65 mph
About 131 hours 36 minutes averaging 65 mph
About 9 hours 13 minutes averaging 65 mph
Never, since they are travelling in opposite directions.. . . but probably not the one the algebra book's authors intended....If you assume that "opposite directions" means the cars are travelling towards each other, their closing speed (i.e. relative speed) is 105 mph. That means they'll meet in 100/105 hours, or slightly more than 57 minutes.
Multiply it out, one at a time. The first cyclist at 7 MPH... well, 120 minutes is 2 hours (120 minutes divided by 60 minutes in an hour)... so after 2 hours they would have gone 14 miles. The other is going 8 MPH for 120 minutes, so using the same math they would have gone 16 miles. Take 14 miles plus 16 miles = 30 miles. So your answer is 30 miles.
