Question

Two old RSM students were standing 10 ft apart when they spotted Mrs. Rifkin. If they immediately run in opposite directions at the speeds of 150 feet per minute and 160 feet per minute respectively, how many minutes will pass before they are 1870 feet apart?

Answer 1

5.96 minutes :)

Answer 2

6

Explanation:

Seeing that the two students are running aside from

each other. We can add the speeds together.

We can also subtract 10 feet from our goal of 1870

they are already feet apart.

1870ft / (150+1650) ft per min

we are left with our answer 6

Hope this helps!
