The distance they(Bobby's cat and dog) will be from each other after 30 minutes is 0.5x miles.
Calculation of distance
The dog runs twice as fast as the cat. Therefore,
Bobby's cat speed = x
Bobby's dog speed = 2x
Therefore,
speed = distance / time
30 minutes = 0.5 hours
Therefore,
distance = speed × time
distance covered by the cat = x × 0.5 = 0.5x
distance covered by the dog = 2x × 0.5 = x
Therefore, the distance they will be from each other after 30 minutes is as follows:
distance = x - 0.5x = 0.5x
