Answer 1

Answer:

• Both will be at equal distance at 8 miles in 2 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

• Ed = 2 miles/hour
• Adam = 4 miles/hour

Work:

• Ed => 4 miles

        Adam => 0 miles

• Ed => 6 miles => 1 hour

        Adam => 4 miles => 1 hour

• Ed => 8 miles => 2 hour

        Adam => 8 miles => 2 hour

Hence, both will be at equal distance at 8 miles in 2 hours.

Hoped this helped.
