<PRE><B>Question 1017271</B>
Bianca and Courtney are 234 miles apart, traveling towards each other.
 If Courtney travel 17 mph and Bianca travels 9 mph how long until they meet?
:
Write a distance equation; dist = speed * time
t = travel time for them to meet
When they meet the sum of their travel distances will add up to 324 mi
17t + 9t = 234
26t = 234
t = 234/26
t = 9 hrs for them to meet
:
:
Confirm this find how far each traveled
17 * 9 = 153 mi
 9 * 9 =  81 mi
----------------
total dist: 234 mi</PRE>
