Answer 1

In 0.75 hour,
Renaldo roll 9.7 x 0.75 = 7.275 miles
Eliza roll 8.2 x 0.75=6.15 miles
--> Renaldo roll 7.275-6.15=1.125 miles farther than E

Answer 2

1.125 miles farther

Explanation:

Since Renaldo can roller blade = 9.7 miles per hour

Eliza can roller blade = 8.2 miles per hour.

In 0.75 hour Renaldo can roller blade = 9.7 × 0.75

In 0.75 hour Eliza can roller blade = 8.2 × 0.75

= 6.15 miles

Renaldo will farther from Eliza = 7.275 - 6.15

= 1.125 miles

Renaldo will 1.125 miles farther in 0.75 hour
