Question

Han is cycling at a speed of -8 miles per hour; if he starts at the same zero point. What will the distance between them be after 45 minutes?

Answer 1

Speed of Han: 8 miles per hour (mph)

We know that he starts at point 0, so the distance can be calculated using the formula:

$d(t)=v\cdot t$

Where v is the speed, and t is the time passed (in hours). After 45 minutes (or 3/4 hours), with a speed of 8mph, we calculate the distance:

$d(\frac{3}{4})=8\cdot\frac{3}{4}=6\text{ miles}$
