Va = 14,400m / (2/3)h = 21,600m/h = Amy's sped.
Vb = 14,400m / 1h = 14400m/h. = Bill's
speed.
Amy = 21,600 - 14,400 = 7200m/h Faster.
Amy = 7200m/h * (1/3600)h/s = 2m/s faster than Bill.
Bill and Amy want to ride their bikes from their neighborhood to school which is 14.4 kilometers away. It takes Amy 40
