Jim travels 3 times faster than Bill.
Traveling in opposite directions, they are
384 miles apart after 8 hours.
Find their rates of travel.
-----
Jim rate = 3x mph
Bill rate = x mph
-----
Separation rate:: 3x+x = 4x mph
----
rate = distance/time
-----
rate = 384/8 = 48
---
Equation:
4x = 48
x = 12
-------
Jim rate = 3x = 36 mph
Bill rate = x = 12 mph
