Question 1096999: Torey's speed was 10 miles per hour less than Hannah's speed. Thus, Torey could travel 200 miles in half the time it took Hannah to travel 560 miles. Find the speed in miles per hour of Hannah. Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let h and h-10 be Hannah's and Torey's speeds, respectively. Then:
560/2h=200/h-10
560h-5600=400h
160h=5600
h=35
h-10=25
Hannah's speed was 35 mph
☺☺☺☺
