Ava ran at an average speed of 6 miles per hour while Kelly ran at an average speed of 8 miles per hour, both would be 3/4 mile apart after 45/14 minutes

What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let us assume that both are at 3/4 mile apart at time t, hence:

For Ava:

6 = d₁ / t

d₁ = 6t

For Kelly:

8 = d₂ / t

d₂ = 8t

d₁ + d₂ = 3/4

6t + 8t = 3/4

t = 3/56 hour = 45/14 minutes

Ava ran at an average speed of 6 miles per hour while Kelly ran at an average speed of 8 miles per hour, both would be 3/4 mile apart after 45/14 minutes
