meet for lunch after 4 hours on the road.
Doreen can maintain a speed of 7 mph, which is 70% of Irena's speed.
If they meet exactly as planned, what is the distance between their houses.
:
let s = Irene's speed
Find d's speed
.7s = 7
s = 7/.7
s = 10 mph is Irene's speed
:
Write a distance equation; dist = speed * time
4(10) + 4(7) = 68 miles
