Answer:

60 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance apart = 100

Rate of travel. :

Anthony = 12 mph

Cleopafda = 8 mph

Using the relation :

Speed = distance / time

Distance = speed * time

If they leave at the same time, travel time Can be represented as x

Anthony's distance + Cleopafda distance = total distance

12x +. 8x = 100

20x = 100

x = 5

Hence, they both traveled for 5 hours before meeting.

Distance covered by Anthony :

Speed * time

12 mph * 5h = 60 miles

Anthony must travel. For 60 miles.
