You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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.
:
When K catches up with E, they will have traveled the same distance
Let S = E's speed, (E travels for a total of 5 hrs)
:
Write a distance equation; dist = speed * time
5s = 3(70)
5s = 210
s = 210/5
s = 42 km/hr is E's speed
