Question 891996: Melinda and a friend are training for a bike race. Melinda drove her bike to a point of 5 miles from her home to meet her friend. From there they rode further away from Malinda's home a rate of 13 miles per hr. how many miles were they from Malinda's home after one hour? Answer by JulietG(1812) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Before they started counting, she was already 5 miles from her home. One additional hour at 13mph means that she is a further 13 miles away.
5 + 13 = 18 miles from her home.
