First, determine the distance of the motorcycle and the car from the start point. The distance could be determined using
\boxed{d=v \times t}
d stands for distance, v stands for speed, t stands for time

The car
d = 48 × t
d = 48t

The motorcycle
d = 20 × t
d = 20t

At the end of t hours, the car is 48t miles (east) from the start point and the motorcycle is 20t miles (north) from the start point.

Second, determine the distance between 48t miles at east and 20t miles at north using pythagoras
distance = \sqrt{(48t)^{2}+(20t)^{2}}
distance = \sqrt{2304t^{2}+400t^{2}}
distance = \sqrt{2704t^{2}}
distance = 52t

The expression for their distance apart at the end of t hours is 52t

Genrish500 [490]
To calculate for the equivalent price in units of per square feet, we need to convert the given units from per square yard to per square feet. We calculate as follows:

<span>$11 per square yard ( 1 yard per 3 feet )^2 = $0.14 per square feet

90 square feet (</span>$0.14 per square feet) = $12.22

QveST [7]
Even # --------- if it ends with 0, # of ways = 6*5*4 = 120 if not, 3 ways for ending digit, 5 ways for 1st digit, 5*4 for middle digits = 300 
so total ways = 420 
odd # --------- 4 ways of ending digit, 5 ways for 1st digit, 5*4 for middle digits = 400 ways 
< 4000: ---------- 3 ways for starting digit, 6*5*4 ways for remaining digits = 360 ways 
> 3000 & < 4000 ------------------------ 1 way for starting digit , 6*5*4 for remaining digits = 120 ways
