At 11 am Kate left clinton tollbooth travelling west at 809 km/h. At 12 pm, Juan left the tollbooth traveling west at 72 km/h. At what time will they be 98 km apart
----------
Kate DATA:
rate = 809 km/h ; time = x + 1 hrs ; distance = 809(x+1) km
------------------------------
Juan DATA:
rate = 72 km/h ; time = x hrs ; distance = 72x km
--------------------
EQUATION:
distance + distance = 98 km
809(x+1) + 72x = 98
809x + 809 + 72x = 98
---------------
These numbers give a negative answer.
Most probably the 809 km/h rate for Kate is wrong.
