You and a friend start biking in opposite directions from the same point. You travel 108 feet every 8 seconds. Your friend travels 63 feet every 6 seconds.

To the nearest hundredth of a mile, how far apart are you and your friend after 15 minutes?

63= 60 then... 60/6 = 10
108=100 then... 100/ 8= 12. 5
60 sec in 1 min so ...
12.5 * 6 = 75
10*6= 60
75 - 60= 15 feet apart.
