The distance between two bicyclists is 10 miles. The riders are moving towards each other. If one bicyclist travels @12 mph and the other travels @ 14mph. Where do they meet and how long does each rider take to get there?
 
Please draw a picture. Put a bicyclist at each end of a line segment. Call the distance 10 miles.

The distance is closing at 12 mph + 14 mph = 26 mph. How long does it take to meet? Where is either of them at that time.

Don't post problems without showing your work. You MUST have SOME clue or you are probably in the wrong class.
