Question

Maria and Ming start at the same point and drive in opposite directions. Maria drives 48 mph and Ming drives 50 mph. How far apart will they be in 2 hours?

Answer 1

Answer:

196metres

Step-by-step explanation:

Maria drives 48 mph and Ming drives 50 mph.

We were told to find How far apart will they be in 2 hours which means that what distance have Maria and Ming passed in total.

Let us calculate how far did Maria go for 2 hours.

Which is

Velocity v = distance s/ time t

V= S1/t

48=s/2

S1= 96metres

Then we calculate how far did Ming go for 2 hours

v= S2/t

50=s/2

S2= 100metres

The total distance between them in two hours is (S1+S2)=96+100

=196metres.

Hence,they were 196 metres apart in 2 hours
