Question 878482
When Nate arrived at the cabin, Brady had 42 miles to go.  Nate's speed was 12mph faster than Brady's.  Therefore, they traveled 42/12 hours, or 3.5 hours.
We're given that the total distance was 217 miles.  Nate traveled that distance in 3.5 hours, so divide 217 by 3.5.
217/3.5 = 62 mph
.
Nate needs to slow down!
