Ellis and Carlos both started hiking along the same trail from the same point. Ellis hiked at a rate of 2.8 miles per hour, and Carlos hiked at a rate of 3.5 miles per hour. Which of the following equations can be used to find h, how much farther Carlos had hiked than Ellis after 2 hours?

A.h = 3.5 - 2.8(2)
B.h = (2.8 + 3.5)2
C.h = 3.5(2) - 2.8(2)
D.h = (3.5 - 2.8) ÷ 2
