Answer
Correct choice: (E)
正确答案:(E)
Solution
This is a $d=st$ problem, so let $x$ be the time it takes to meet. We can write the following equation:
\[12x+18x=45\]
Solving gives us $x=1.5$. The $18x$ is Alicia so $18\times1.5=\boxed{\textbf{(E) 27}}$
这是一个 $d=st$ 问题,让 $x$ 为相遇所需时间。我们可以写出以下方程:
\[12x+18x=45\]
解得 $x=1.5$。$18x$ 是 Alicia,所以 $18\times1.5=\boxed{\textbf{(E) 27}}$
