<PRE><B>Question 1144517</B>
 Prince Christopher and Princess Dagney were 63 miles apart at dawn.
 Prince Christopher began the journey to the meeting place at 7 a.m. at 3 mph. 
 Three hours later Princess Dagney set out to meet him.
 If they met at 4 p.m., how fast did the princess travel? :
:
if the met a 4 PM, 6 hr = travel time of the princess and 9 hrs = travel time of the prince
let s = the speed of the princess
:
Write a distance equation; dist = speed * time
6s + 3(9) = 63
6s = 63 - 27
6s = 36
s = 36/6
s = 6 mph is the speed of the princess
