I feel like the answer could be 30 miles, but I’m not entirely confident. I need to double-check my calculations.

I’m a bit confused about the speeds. Did we calculate the speeds correctly in the practice problems?

This reminds me of a practice question where we compared speeds. If A is faster, I guess we just multiply the speed difference by time.

I think I remember that we need to find the difference in distance after 6 hours, but I'm not sure how to set it up.
