Question

angie and payton jog of opposite each other and angie can jog 4.5 mile faster than payton. after 1.5 hours they are 17 miles apart. how much can each person jog

Answer 1

Recall that distance is equal to rate (or speed) mutiplied by time:
d = v*t

Let r = speed of Payton
Let r + 4.5 = speed of Angie
If they are jogging opposite to each other, then the distance between them is equal to the sum of their rates multiplied by the time:
d = r*t + (r+4.5)*t
Substituting,
17 = r(1.5) + (r+4.5)(1.5)
17 = 1.5r + 1.5r + 6.75
17 - 6.75 = 3r
10.25 = 3r
r = 3.42 mi/hr (Payton's)
r+4.5 = 7.92 mi/hr (Angie's)

Hope this helps~ :3
