    For Anya:v 1 = 3.3 mph, v 2 = 8.3 mph5 : 2 = 2.5 mi (half of the distance)

    t1 = d/v1 = 2.5 mi / 3.3 mph = 0.7576 ht2 = d/v2 = 2.5 mi/8.3 mph = 0.3 hIn total: 0.7576 + 0.3 = 1.0576 hFor Ilya: 8.3 t / 2 + 3.3 t / 2 = 5 / * 28.3 t + 3.3 t = 1011.6 t = 10t = 10 : 11.6t = 0.86 hHe covers the distance for 0.86 h. His average speed:v = 5/0.86 = 5.81 mph.
