Question 749099: Candy and Delvis are riding bicycles in the same direction. Candy is traveling at a speed of 6 miles per hour, and Delvis is traveling at a speed of 8 miles per hour. In 3 hours what is the distance between them (assuming that they began at the same point and time)?

Every hour that goes by, Delvis is going 2 more miles.

They will be 6 miles apart.
Alternately, Candy is going 6mi/h. Multiply by the number of hours to see how far she goes. 6mi/h * 3 h = 18 miles.
Delvis is going 8mi/h. Multiply by the number of hours to see how far she goes. 8mi/h * 3 h = 24 miles.
From here, hopefully you can see that they are 6 miles apart. 24-18=6
