30%28miles%2Fhour%29%283%2F4%29%28hours%29=30%283%2F4%29%2Amiles=90%2F4=45%2F2=22.5
Gina will be late because she still is missing 1.5 miles of the destination.

How late?
30%2At=1.5
t=1.5%2F30, in hours;
highlight%28t=%281.5%2F30%29%2A60%29, in MINUTES. (3 minutes LATE).

D = ST, or D = RT

Heading to the appointment 24 miles away, and travelling at 30 mph, it'll take her 24%2F30, or 4%2F5 hour, or 48 minutes

to get there. Since the appointment is in 45 minutes, I believe you should be able to determine whether she'll be

early or late, and then how early or late she will be.

You then do a check!!
