the answer is A

Explanation:

ITS ON EDGE

Answer 2

a)Rita had a 28-mile head start

Explanation:

The multiple options have been added in the additional information below the problem statement.

Missing Information:

Since the distance of each driver is not displayed. Let us assume their distances.

Say,

Roger travelled distance = 60 miles

Rita travelled distance = 32 miles

Now as it is given in the problem statement that Roger and Rita both drove at a constant speed between Phoenix and San Diego and they drove "Same Section of the trip" .

Which Means that the distance travelled of both is between Phoenix and San Diego, just their starting points are different but their end point is the same which is San Diego.

As we can see RIta had to cover less miles which means she got the head start, now to calculate how much of a head start she got, we need:

Head Start Rita got = Distance Roger travelled - Distance Rita Travelled

Head Start Rita got = 60 - 32 = 28 miles

So,

Rita got a Head start of 28 miles which is option (a)
