Sophie bikes at s mph.Her friend Rana bikes at a slower r mph. tomorrow both girls are planning to spend 3 hours biking. How much longer will Sophies route be

Answer 1

Let d be the distance Sophie bikes in 3 hours. Since she bikes at a speed of s mph, we can express the distance as:

d = s * 3

Similarly, let D be the distance Rana bikes in 3 hours. Since she bikes at a speed of r mph, we can express the distance as:

D = r * 3

We want to find the difference in distance between Sophie's and Rana's routes. This can be expressed as:

d - D = s * 3 - r * 3 = 3(s - r)

Therefore, the difference in distance between Sophie's and Rana's routes is 3(s - r) miles.
