Jill is 13.5 kilometers away from Joe.
\n" ); document.write( " Both begin to walk toward each other at the same time.
\n" ); document.write( "Jill walks at 3 kilometers per hour.
\n" ); document.write( "They meet in 3 hours. How fast is Joe walking?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "When they meet the total distance they have traveled will be 13.5 km
\n" ); document.write( "Let s = Joe's walking speed
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "3(3) + 3s = 13.5
\n" ); document.write( "9 + 3s = 13.5
\n" ); document.write( "3s = 13.5 - 9
\n" ); document.write( "3s = 4.5
\n" ); document.write( "s = \"4.5%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "s = 1.5 km/hr is Joe's walking speed (slow, not very anxious to meet her it seems)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
