Larry weighs 120 pounds and rides his bike at an average speed of 12 miles per hour. Jason weighs 90 pounds and rides his bike at an average speed of 9 miles per hour. Larry and Jason start at the same place and ride their bikes in opposite directions. How far apart, in miles, will Larry and Jason be after riding their bikes for 10 minutes? And Identify the information that is NOT needed to determine how far apart Larry and Jason will be after riding their bikes for 10 minutes.

Respuesta :

After riding their bikes, Larry and Jason will be 3.5 miles apart after 10 minutes of their start.

We have Larry and Jason.

We have to determine how far apart, in miles, will Larry and Jason be after riding their bikes for 10 minutes.

How will you calculate the distance traversed by a body ?

The distance travelled can be calculated using the formula -

distance = speed x time

According to the question -

The distance covered by Larry in 10 minutes = d [1] = 12 x 10/60 =

2 miles.

The distance covered by Jason in 10 minutes = d [2] = 9 x 10/60 =

1.5 miles.

Distance between Jason and Larry after 10 minutes = 2 + 1.5 = 3.5 miles.

Hence, Larry and Jason will be 3.5 miles apart after 10 min.
