Question

Bell skates at 10 miles per hour and Kristin skates at 14 mile per hour. if they keep up that pace for 4 5 hours, how far apart will they be at the end of that time?

Answer 1

Bell:
1 hour = 10 miles
4.5 hours = 10 x 4.5 = 45 miles.

Kristin:
1 hour = 14 miles
4.5 hours = 14 x 4.5 = 63 miles

Difference in distance = 63 - 45 = 18 miles.

Answer: They will be 18 miles apart.
