Question

Zach walks at a rate of 2.83 miles per hour. Nora walks at a rate of 2.18 miles per hour. How many miles farther will Zach have walked after they each walk for 1.5 hours? 6.NS.3 1

Answer 1

Using the rate for each of them and the time walking to calculate the distance they each walked.

`\begin{gathered} Zach=2.83(mi)/(h)\cdot(1.5h) \\ Zach=4.245mi \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} Nora=2.18(mi)/(h)\cdot(1.5h) \\ Nora=3.27mi \end{gathered}`

find the difference between the distance of both

`\begin{gathered} 4.245-3.27 \\ 0.975mi \end{gathered}`

Zack walked 0.975mi farther than Nora.
