Question 823350: Charlie and Chang start at the same point and drive in opposite directions. Charlie drives 44 mph and Chang drives 46 mph. How far apart will they be in 2 hours?
Answer by algebrahouse.com(1659) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Distance = rate x time
Charlie
D = rt {distance = rate x time}
D = 44(2) {substituted given information into distance formula}
D = 88 miles {multiplied}
Chang
D = rt {distance = rate x time}
D = 46(2) {substituted given information into distance formula}
D = 92 miles {multiplied}
Charlie and Chang's combined distance
= 88 + 92 {added the distances, they are driving in opposite directions}
= 180 miles
