Answer :
Answer:
Tom and Juanita will be [tex]162[/tex] miles apart after [tex]3[/tex] hours of biking in opposite direction.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Speed of Tom's ride = [tex]24[/tex] mph
Speed of Juanita's ride = [tex]30[/tex] mph
Time traveled by both = [tex]3[/tex] hours
Distance apart in [tex]3[/tex] hrs = Summation of their total distance covered in different direction.
Distance = Speed * Time
Tom covered a distance of [tex]24*3=72[/tex] miles
Juanita covered a distance of [tex]30*3=90[/tex] miles
So we will add their distances as both of them are in opposite direction.
Summation of their distances = [tex](72+90)=162[/tex] miles.
They will be [tex]162[/tex] miles apart in [tex]3[/tex] hours of biking.
