\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let d= the distance that each travelled, then
\n" ); document.write( "Leah's rate (speed)=(d/3) mi/hr
\n" ); document.write( "May's speed=(d/1) mi/hr\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I think that something may have been left, because there are an infinite number of solutions depending upon the value of d\r
