Answer:
45 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Taylor and Anya live 63 miles apart.
Taylor rides at the rate of 12.5 miles per hour, therefore, distance covered by Taylor in 1 hour will be 12.5 miles.
Anya rides at the rate of 5.5 miles per hour, therefore, therefore, distance covered by Taylor in 1 hour will be 5.5 miles.
Now let us find total distance covered by Anya and Taylor.
[tex]\text{Anya and Taylor traveled in one hour}=(12.5+5.5)\text{ miles}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Anya and Taylor traveled in one hour}=18\text{ miles}[/tex]
To find the distance between Anya and Taylor after one hour we will subtract distance traveled by Anya and Taylor in one hour from 63.
[tex]\text{Distance between Taylor and Anya after one hour of riding}=63-18[/tex]
[tex]\text{Distance between Taylor and Anya after one hour of riding}=45[/tex]
Therefore, Anya and Taylor are 45 miles apart after one hour of riding.
