Question

Kyle and Steve start at the same point and walk in opposite directions. If Kyle walks at 2 mph and Steve walks at 2 mph, how far apart will they be after 3 hours?

Answer 1

12 miles

Explanation:

Kyle's speed = 2 mph

Steve's speed = 2 mph

Time traveled = 3 hours

Distance apart after 3 hours

Distance moved by Kyle + Distance moved by Steve

Distance = Speed * time

Distance moved by Kyle = 2 * 3 = 6 miles

Distance moved by Steve = 2 * 3 = 6 miles

Total distance apart = 6 + 6 = 12 miles
