Rate- Time- Distance

From the same point A, B and C start together. They are moving at a, b, and c miles per hour around a circular lake n miles in circumference. C is going in the opposite direction from A and B. Determine when A and B will be together and A and C will be together.

What is known:

A, B, C start together at the same point

C is going in the opposite direction from A and B

Moving at a, b, c miles per hour around a circular lake n miles in circumference



Want to know:

When A and B will be together and A and C will be together


Formula used: Rate * Time = Distance Distance/Rate = Time Distance/Time = Rate

Let x = Time


Rate Time Distance
A x axn
B x bxn
C x cxn


How do I proceed from this point ?
