Beau and Luke leave the field at the same time. Beau rides a scooter west, riding at 12 mph, while Luke jogs east. After 30 minutes, Beau and Luke are 10 miles apart. At what speed is Luke jogging?

Question

Due in a few hours! Thank you!

Answer 1

Beau went west at 12mph

Luke went east at what speed?

if they were 10 miles apart after 1/2 hour?

d=rt

distance = rate of speed times time

10 = (12+L)(1/2)

20 =12+L

L = 20-12=8

L= 8 mph = Luke's jogging speed
