Using proportions, it is found that Judy and Amna will be 2420 ft apart after 8 minutes.
What is a proportion?
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.
They run in opposite directions, at speeds of 180 feet per minute and 120 feet per minute, respectively, hence each minute they get 180 + 120 = 300 feet apart.
They already are 20 feet apart, so they will need to get more 2420 - 20 = 2400 ft apart. Hence:
1 minute - 300 ft apart.
x minutes - 2400 ft apart.
Applying cross multiplication:
300x = 2400
x = 8.
Judy and Amna will be 2420 ft apart after 8 minutes.
