Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let = the slowest speed she can drive in mi/hr
= her time in hrs
You want this time to be less than or equal to hrs

Write the other way around

So, she has to travel at least 50 mi/hr
average speed to arrive on time
Opps, sorry, I solved it.
