Answer 2

Answer:

The distance between a and b after 1 hour will be 300 meters a running at a speed of 250 m/min and b running at a speed of 300m/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 : Convert the 1 hour to minutes.

1 hour = 60 minutes.

Step 2 : Given the speed and the time we can get the distances from the following formula.

Distance = Speed × time

Distance traveled by a = 250 × 60 = 15000 meters.

Distance traveled by b = 300 × 60 = 18000 m

Step 3: Work out the distance between a and b by getting the difference between the distances covered by both of them.

We work this out as follows :

18000 meters - 15000 meters = 3000 meters.

Step 4 : Write down the answer.

The distance between a and b after 1 hour is 3000 meters.
