The equation of movement for each car is given by:
Car 1:
d1 = v1 * t1
Substituting values:
d1 = 42 * 3.5
d1 = 147 miles
Car 2:
d2 = v2 * t2
d2 = v2 * (t1 + 0.5)
Substituting values:
d2 = 50 * (3.5 + 0.5)
d2 = 200 miles
The distance between the cars is:
d = root ((d1) ^ 2 + (d2) ^ 2)
d = root ((147) ^ 2 + (200) ^ 2)
d = 248.2 miles
Answer:
They will be 248.2 miles far.
Your answer would be 541.5
Well, as a fraction, it would be 13/5 because 4 friends + him = 5. 13/5=2.6.
2.6 also equals 3/5. So the answer is 2.6 or 2 3/5.
