Answer 1

• 152 miles

Explanation:

We know that:

• 2(Maria + Ming) = Distance away from each other in 2 hours.
• Maria = 44 miles = 1 hour
• Ming = 32 miles = 1 hour

Work:

• 2(Maria + Ming)
• => 2(44 + 32)
• => 2(76)
• => 152 miles

Hence, in 2 hours, they will be 152 miles apart.

Answer 2

152 miles

Explanation:

Let's first find how much they drove individually in two hours.

Maria

d=s*t

d=44 mph*2h

d=88 m

Ming

d=s*t

d=32 mph*2h

d=64 m

Both

d=64+88

d=152 miles
