Two truck drivers start out at the same time on the same long haul delivery. Sam averages 57 mph for the length of the trip while Beth averages 63 mph. After 6.5 hours what is the distance between them? Write an equation and then solve.
--------
Sam DATA:
rate=57 mph ; time= 6.5 hrs. ; distance = rt = 370.5 miles
-----
Beth DATA:
rate= 63 mph ; time = 6.5 hrs ; distance = rt = 409.5 miles
------------
Distace between them is 409.5-370.5 = 39 miles
Cheers,
