Answer:

0.2 miles

Explanation:

Given that Jonah starts jogging at a constant speed of 6 miles per hour, Five minutes later, Jonah must have covered a distance of;

Distance = speed × time

Distance = 6 × 5/60

Distance = 0.5 miles

Distance covered in 12 minute will be

Distance = 6 × 12/60

Distance = 1.2 miles

Total distance covered by Jonah will be 0.5 + 1.2 = 1.7 miles

Sory jogging from the same place along the same trail. Sory jogs at a constant speed of 7.5 miles per hour.

If Sory jogs for 12 minute, then sory distance covered will be

Distance = speed × time

Distance = 7.5 × 12/60

Distance = 1.5

The distance between Jonah and Sory will be:

1.7 - 1.5 = 0.2 miles

Therefore, they are 0.2 miles apart after 12 minutes
