Solution

To solve this problem, we need to understand that Jake and Thomas are running in opposite directions. Therefore, their speeds are added together.

Step 1: Add the speeds of Jake and Thomas together. Jake's speed = 25m/s Thomas's speed = 30m/s Total speed = 25m/s + 30m/s = 55m/s

Step 2: Use the formula for time which is distance/speed. Distance = 220m Speed = 55m/s Time = Distance / Speed = 220m / 55m/s = 4 seconds

So, Jake and Thomas will be 220m apart after 4 seconds.
