2 cities are moving toward each other at a rate of 5 cm per year.
About 11 million years from now the two cities will be next to each other.
How many meters and kilometers does each city have to travel before they meet?
:
multiply 5 cm by 11 million years, change to meters then to km
:
= 550 km (550000 meters)
:
They say "each" city, I guess that would be a 275 km movement for each
