Question

Starting at the same point, Tom and Juanita go biking in opposite directions. If Tom rides at a speed of 14 mph, and Juanita rides at a speed of 20 mph, how far apart will they be in 2 hours?

( Please include explanation, thank you! )

Answer 1

68 miles

Explanation:

After 2 hours, Tom and Juanita will be Tom's distance plus Juanita's distance apart because they are traveling in opposite directions.

Calculate Tom's distance below.

14 mph × 2 hours = 28 miles

Calculate Juanita's distance below.

20 mph × 2 hours = 40 miles

The total distance is the sum of Tom's and Juanita's distances, shown below.

28 miles + 40 miles = 68 miles
