Question 476065: Can you Help me Please with this question ! THANKYOU !
Geologists estimate that the continents of Europe and North America are drifting apart at a rate of an average of 12 miles every 1 million years, or about 0.75 inch per year. If the continents continue to drift apart at that rate, how many inches will they drift in 50 years?
