David and Alice are 50 miles apart. david begins to drive towards alice at 50 miles per hour, and at the same time Alice drives towards david at 35 miles an hour. after 12 minutes, approximately how many feet are they away from each other?
12 min=12/60=1/5 hr
distance=travel time*speed
1/5*50=10 mi (distance david traveled)
1/5*35=7 mi (distance alice traveled)
50-10-7=33 mi
5280*33=174240 ft
how many feet are they away from each other? 174240 ft
