Sandra has to travel from point A to point B which is 125m.
She has an appointment at 5:00pm, if she leaves at 2:30pm,
how fast does she have to drive to make it on time?
:
From the given times, we know she has 2.5 hrs to get there.
let s = the necessary speed
speed = dist/time
s = 125%2F2.5
s = 50 mph average speed to make it on time
