Question

Julia and Maya are walking towards each other. When they started, the distance between them was 1600 feet. What will be the distance between them in 2.5 minutes, if they walk with the same speed: 80 feet per minute?

Answer 1

If they walk 80 feet per minute, in 2.5 minutes they each will have walked 200 feet. (2.5*80)
Since the question is asking for the distance between them, just subtract twice that distance from 1600 (1600-200*2=1200)
