<PRE><B>Question 100667</B>
Q. Find the distance that the herd traveled while the stray ran to catch up. Then write an expression for th total distance the herd traveled. Let x represent the distance (in miles) that the herd traveled while the stray elephant stood still.
A. Is the distance 6 miles/hr x 1/12miles = 6/12 = .5 miles?
Yes; that is the distance the herd ran while the lone elephant was running.

 Please help me write the equation. 
------------
EQUATION: Total distance the herd ran = [x + (1/2)] miles
