Question

Help A.S.A.P!! It looks easy to me but I'm too dumb to figure it out.

Amanda and Alexis live 4 miles apart. They decide to start walking toward each other’s houses at the same time. Amanda walks at a rate of 3.5 miles per hour and Alexis walks at a rate of 4 miles per hour. How long will it take for them to meet? Round to the nearest hundredth of an hour. [Remember: D = (r)(t)]

How many hours would that be?

Answer 1

add the speed of both

Answer 2

Answer 5

Answer 6

no 3.5+4=7.5 hours then. 4 miles doesn't take 7.5 hours to walk

All you told me to do was add so I did and only submitted that. I didn't know you had to divide it. I told you I'm dumb.
