Larry and his brother Brett are stranded in the desert.

Their car has broken down in the middle of the hot day, and it is 36 miles to the nearest town. ‘’Looks like we’ll have to leave the car and take turns with the canteen and the skateboard,'’ Larry said gloomily. The brothers want to leave at the same time and arrive in town **** the same time. Both Larry and Brett knnow that they skateboard at the same speed, 6 miles per hour. Larry walks at 3 miles an hour and Brett walks at 4 miles an hour. They make a plan to exchange the skateboard on the hour, but neither one can wait for the other. how long did it take them to get to the town and how many miles did each one walk and each one skateboard?
