Answer 1

I believe Junnie walked further by 0.62 miles if this isnt correct sorry

Answer 2

• Junnie walked farther.

• He walked 0.62 miles farther.

Explanation:

We know that:

`\text{Distance}=\text{Speed}* \text{Time}`

Junnie walked for 2.5 hours at a speed of 3.2 miles per hour.

This means that the distance traveled by Junnie is:

`Distance=3.2* 2.5\\\\Distance=8\ \text{miles}`

Also,

Maurice walked for 1.8 hours at a speed of 4.1 miles per hour.

This means that the distance traveled by Maurice is:

`Distance=1.8* 4.1\\\\Distance=7.38\ \text{miles}`

This means that Junnie walked farther.

The distance which Junnie covers more as compares to Maurice is:

`8-7.38=0.62\ \text{miles}`
