John and Jim are 11 miles apart and walking toward each other. They meet in 2 hours. Jim walks 1.1 miles per hour faster than John. What's the rate of John? Set up an equation to solve.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let s = rate that John walks
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "We know that when they meet their total walked distance will be 11 mi
\n" ); document.write( "We know they both walked 2 hrs:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write a distance equation: Distance = time * speed::
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Jim's dist + John's distance = 11 miles
\n" ); document.write( "2(1.1) + 2s = 11
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Solve this equation and you have it. \n" ); document.write( "
