Two hours later Kim left traveling at 70 km/h in an effort to catch up to Eduardo. After traveling for three hours Kim finally caught up. Find Eduardo's average speed.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "When K catches up with E, they will have traveled the same distance
\n" ); document.write( "Let S = E's speed, (E travels for a total of 5 hrs)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write a distance equation; dist = speed * time
\n" ); document.write( "5s = 3(70)
\n" ); document.write( "5s = 210
\n" ); document.write( "s = 210/5
\n" ); document.write( "s = 42 km/hr is E's speed
