    Answer: it will take 2.5 hours until Noah and Andre meet.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Noah and Andre are 15 miles apart on a bike path when they start biking towards each other. This means that by the time they would meet, they would have covered a total distance of 15 miles.

    Let t represent the time it would take for them to meet.

    Distance = speed * time

    Noah rides at a constant speed of 4 miles per hour. This means that the distance that Noah would cover in t hours is 4t

    Andre rides at a constant speed of 2 miles per hour. This means that the distance that Andre would cover in t hours is 2t

    Since the total distance is 15 miles, then

    4t + 2t = 15

    6t = 15

    t = 15/6

    t = 2.5 hours
