Xiao Li goes from place a to place B by bike, and Xiao Ming goes from place B to place a by bike. They both go at a constant speed. It is known that they set out at 8 am at the same time. By 10 am, they are 36 km apart. By 12 noon, they are 36 km apart. The distance between a and B is calculated

Xiao Li goes from place a to place B by bike, and Xiao Ming goes from place B to place a by bike. They both go at a constant speed. It is known that they set out at 8 am at the same time. By 10 am, they are 36 km apart. By 12 noon, they are 36 km apart. The distance between a and B is calculated

Suppose the distance between a and B is x kilometers. According to the meaning of the question: X − 3610 − 8 = 36 + 3612 − 10, the solution is: x = 108. Answer: the distance between a and B is 108 kilometers
