This problem can be solved by the use of algebra but I prefer to just think logically about the problem.
\n" ); document.write( "Lawanda is travelling 15 mile per hour faster than Betty so in three hours she covers an extra 45 miles (3 * 15). Betty will spend the fourth hour travelling those 45 miles so Betty is travelling at 45 miles per hour.
\n" ); document.write( "Lawanda is travelling 15 mile per hour faster so she must be travelling at 60 miles per hour (45 + 15). \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
