Question 1150852
Rhonda and Juan ride their bikes in opposite directions: Rhonda at 20 miles/hour and Juan at 15 miles/hour. In 24 minutes, how many miles will they be apart?
=======================
When moving in opposite directions, the speeds are added.
20 + 15 = 35 mi/hr
--------------
d = r*t
35*0.4 = 14 miles.

Sorry, no Master's Thesis for that.
