Question 397510: Ryan left the science museum and drove
south. Gabriella left three hours later
driving 42 km/h faster in an effort to catch
up to him. After two hours Gabriella finally
caught up. Find Ryan's average speed. How do u set up an equation for this problem? Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
If G was going 42 kph faster than R and caught him in 2 hours, then he must have been 84 km ahead of her. He created that 84 km head start in 3 hours. 84 divided by 3 is his rate of speed in km/hr.
