Question

Malia runs twice as fast as Eileen. If Malia and Eileen start from the same point and run around a circular track in opposite directions, how many times will they pass each other if they stop when Malia completes her sixth lap?

I figured 9 times. Is that correct?

Answer 1

Malia = 2*Eileen
6=2*Eileen
Eileen=3 laps
Eileen does half a lap while Malia does 1 lap, so like 6 i think
