They will be at least 12 miles apart in 30 minutes.

My Work:

I divide 46 and 70 by 2.

I have gotten 23 and 35.

Next I subtract 23 from 35.

My answer becomes 12.

How far apart were they when the 30 minutes started ? Did they leave the starting line together ?

Or was one in California and the other one in Ohio ?

It makes a big difference.

You said "the car that leads" is the slow one. This is totally confusing, and we can't possibly

come up with a solution unless we have another piece of information.

If we assume that they were exactly together when the light turned green, and then they both

took off on the same road, the distance between the fast car and the slow car is opening at the

rate of (70 - 46) = 24 miles per hour.

So after 1/2 hour, the fast car is ahead by (24/2) = 12 miles.
