2) The dimensions of a gaming room are 10 feet by 17 feet by 11 feet. A spider and a fly are both in the room. What is the furthest distance they could be apart to the nearest tenth
of a foot?

3) Mario is driving in Canada at a steady rate of 100 km/hr. His twin sister, Daneka, is driving at a steady rate of 70 mph in Washington. Who is faster and by how much?
Express your answer in mph. Note 1 mile = 1.609 kilometers.
