Starting at the same point, Tom and Juanita go biking in opposite directions. If Tom rides at a speed of 24 mph, and Juanita rides at a speed of 27 mph, how far apart will they be in 3 hours?
Juanita is riding three miles faster than Tom. (miles PER HOUR) therefore you would take the extra three mph and multiply it by the 3 hours they ride and you get 9. Then you multiply 24x3=72and 27x3=81. U add all of ur answers together, 72+81+9 and u get 162. So the answer would be 162 miles apart
