alice and bonnie start running at the same time from the same point and run in the same direction .Alice runs at 8 mph while bonnie runs at a slower pace. after two hours they are 4 miles apart. Determine the speed that bonnie is running
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Alice DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "rate = 8 mph ; time = 2 hrs ; distance = r*t = 8*2 = 16 miles
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Bonnie DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "rate = x mph ; time = 2hrs ; distance = r*t = 2x miles
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "16 miles - 2x miles = 4 miles
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 12
\n" ); document.write( "x = 6 mph (Bonnie's rate)
