Sydney would arrive one hour before Nathan. 24/12=2 and 24/8=3

Finley Howe · Answer 2

3) Sydney will arrive one hour earlier than Nathan

Step-by-step explanation:

(How long it will take for Sydney to finish) 24 mi/12 mi per hour=2 hours

(How long it will take for Nathan to finish) 24 mi/8 mi per hour=3 hours

3 hours - 2 hours = 1 hour
