Question

If Tony and Tanya both run at the same speed and in the same direction and they both run for the same amount of time, what can you say about the distance they travel?

Answer 1

Answer: They travel equal distances

Explanation:

Distance is amount of space covered from one point to another. It is measured in metres. Distance = speed x time taken

In this case,

- Since Tony and Tanya both run at the same speed: let speed = b

- Also, both run for the same amount of time: let time = c

Therefore, distance covered by Tony and Tanya = speed x time taken

Distance = b x c

Distance = bc (i.e Tony travelled a distance of bc, so also Tanya)
