D = ST, or D = RT
Heading to the appointment 24 miles away, and travelling at 30 mph, it'll take her , or hour, or 48 minutes
to get there. Since the appointment is in 45 minutes, I believe you should be able to determine whether she'll be
early or late, and then how early or late she will be.
You then do a check!!
