Question

Greg was traveling at 12 kilometers per day and Tommy was traveling at 8 kilometers per day. They were traveling directly away from each other. When will Greg and Tommy be 195 kilometers apart?

Answer 1

By Day 10

Explanation:

Day 1: 12 + 8 = 20

Day 2: 12 + 8 + 20 = 40

Day 3: 12 + 8 + 40 = 60

Day 4: 12 + 8 + 60 = 80

Day 5: 12 + 8 + 80 = 100

Day 6: 12 + 8 + 100 = 120

Day 7: 12 + 8 + 120 = 140

Day 8: 12 + 8 + 140 = 160

Day 9: 12 + 8 + 160 = 180

Day 10: 12 + 8 + 180 = 200

So they were 195 kilometers away before the 10th day ended.
