Question 766801: liza and tanya leave the same camp and run in opposite direction. liza run at 2m/sec and tanya at 3m/sec. how far apart are they after one hour ?
Answer by Cromlix(4381) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Liza runs at 2m/sec
Tanya runs at 3m/sec
3600 seconds in one hour
So Liza ran 2 * 3600 = 7200m
and Tanya ran 3 * 3600 = 10800m
Total = 18000m = 18km
So they are 18km apart after an hour.
Hope this helps.
