The cyclist and the motorcyclist left the same point in the same direction at the same time, the speed of the motorcyclist is 40 km h and the cyclist’s speed is 12 km h, what is the distance between them in 3 hours.

First, we find the path that the motorcyclist traveled in 3 hours according to the formula: S = V × t (to find the distance, you need to multiply the speed by time). We get: S = 40 × 3 = 120 (km) – the path that the motorcyclist traveled in 3 hours.
Now let’s find the path that the cyclist traveled during these 3 hours using the same formula. We get: 12 × 3 = 36 (km) – the path that the cyclist traveled in 3 hours.
To find the distance between them, subtract the smaller from the larger.
120-36 = 84 (km)
Answer: in 3 hours the distance between them will be 84 kilometers.
