Two horses start a race at the same time. Horse A gallops at a steady rate of 32 feet per second and Horse B gallops at a steady rate of 28 feet per second. After 5 seconds, how much farther will Horse A have traveled? Explain or show your reasoning.
To find out how much farther Horse A will have traveled after 5 seconds, we need to calculate the distance each horse has traveled in 5 seconds.
Horse A's speed is 32 feet per second, so in 5 seconds, it will have traveled:
Distance_A = Speed_A * Time = 32 feet/second * 5 seconds = 160 feet.
Horse B's speed is 28 feet per second, so in 5 seconds, it will have traveled:
Distance_B = Speed_B * Time = 28 feet/second * 5 seconds = 140 feet.
Therefore, Horse A will have traveled 160 - 140 = 20 feet farther than Horse B after 5 seconds.
