Hi,

Doug travels 5 times faster than jill's rate highlight%28r%29

jill's rate: r

Doug's rate:  5r

traveling in opposite directions they are 504 miles apart after 4 hours

Note: D = rt

  r%2A4hr+%2B+5r%2A4hr+=+504mi

              24r = 504

                r = 21mph, Jill's rate. Doug's rate is 105mph
