Question

Two turtles come from opposite sides of the road, starting at the same time and moving at the same speed. When they met, they jvere 72 inches from the right hand edge of the road. How wide is the road?​

Answer 1

Answer:

144 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

If they are moving at the same speed and start at the same time, they have to go the same distance

That means they will meet in the middle

If they are 72 inches from the right side that means the middle is 72 inches from the right side

The road is 2 times 72 inches

2*72 = 144

144 inches
