Question

jada walks at a speed of 3 miles per hour. elena walks at a speed of 2.8 miles per hour. if they both began walking along a walking trail at the same time , how much farther will jada walk after 3 hours? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Answer:

jada walks 0.6 miles farther after 3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

jada walks at a speed of 3 miles per hour. elena walks at a speed of 2.8 miles per hour.

We find the distance both walked in 3 hours

distance = speed * time

Distance Jada walks = 3 * 3 = 9 miles

Distance Elena walks = 2.8 * 3= 8.4 miles

Now we find the difference of distance walked

Jada's distance - Elen's distance

9 - 8.4 = 0.6

jada walks 0.6 miles farther after 3 hours
