Dawn and Lin took off on skateboards from the same location but traveled in opposite directions. After 20 minutes, Dawn had traveled 6.42 kilometers and Lin had traveled 7.7 kilometers. How far apart were they?

Answer :

Answer:

14.12 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance of Dawn = 6.42 km

Distance from Lin = 7.7 km in the opposite direction.

If they went in opposite directions then they were moving away from each other.

Therefore, the final distance between the two can be written as follows:

d = 6.42 + 7.7 = 14.12 km

After 20 minutes Dawn and Lin were 14.12 km away.
