Jada walks at a speed of 3 miles per hour.Elena walks at a speed of 2.8 miles per hour.if they both begin walking along a walking trail at the same time,how much farther will Jada walk after 3 hours? Explain your reasoning

Respuesta :

Answer:

In 3 hours Jada walked 0.6 more miles than Elena.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we multiply both 3 and 2.8 by 3 to represent how far each of them will walk in 3 hours

Jada: [tex]3*3=9[/tex] miles

Elena: [tex]2.8*3=8.4[/tex]

Now we subtract the two numbers to see how much further Jada walked

[tex]9-8.4=0.6[/tex]

Jada walked 0.6 more miles than Elena in 3 hours.

I hope this helps
