Two friends decided to have a friendly race on their bikes. The girl travels at 6.0 m/s while her boyfriend speeds off at a rate of 6.5m/s.If both...

distance is a function of the rate at which you go and how
long you travel at that rate. The formula for distance is:  d = vt where d is the
distance, v is the rate, and t is the time.

In this case,
the girl is going a distance of 6 m/s * 20 s = 120 m.

The
boy is going a distance of 6.5 m/s * 20 s = 130 s.

Since
they are going in different directions, the total distance is 120 m + 130 m = 250
m

in scientific notation 250 = 2.5 *
10^2
