Question 1202281
Homer drove as fast as he could to get 60 miles ahead of Mae. If Homer drove at 17 miles per hour and accomplished his goal 20 hours after they both began, how fast did Mae drive?

Homer was 60 miles ahead in 20 hours

Every hour he is moving ahead  by  60/20 = 3 miles ==> 3mph

17-3 =14 m/h  is Mae's speed
