Answer:
They would be 44.6 miles apart
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to calculate how far they will be in 1 hour
Mathematically;
Distance = speed * time
In 1 hour, Kiran would have traveled a distance of 3 * 1 = 3 miles
While Clare would have traveled a distance of 3.4 * 1 = 3.4 miles
Now, we want to calculate how far apart they would be
On the 24 miles trail, Kiran would be at a distance of 21 miles to the other end
On the 24 miles Claire would be at a distance of 20.6 miles
So how far apart they would be is
24 miles + 20.6 miles = 44.6 miles
