Maxwell leaves his home and walks toward Brad's house at the same time that Brad leaves his home and runs toward Maxwell's house. If the distance between their homes is 65 kilometers, Maxwell's walking speed is 2 km/h, and Brad's running speed is 3 km/h. What is the distance traveled by Maxwell when they meet in the middle? Pick one:
A) 25  B) 23  C) 22  D) 24  E) 26

Rationale: "consider max starts from point a and brad starts from point b and move towards each other . assume they shall meet at point o after time ' t ' . the question asks us to find oa . from the question stem we can make out : - distance oa = 50 km - distance ob = > 2 xt = 65 - 3 xt ( i . e distance = speed x time ) = > 5 t = 65 hence t = 13 oa = 2 x 13 = 26 km answer : e"
Answer: E
