A deer and bear stumble across a sleeping skunk. They run away from it in opposite directions- the deer at the speed of 8 feet per second and the bear at the speed of 5 feet per second. How long will it be until the pets are 156 yards apart
First we will add the bear and the deer's speed. 8+5=13. now we will divide by the distance, but the speed is in feet not yards, so multiply 156 by 13=468/ then do 13x=468 so x is equal to 36.
