let Ken paddle x miles, then
Kara paddles 27-x miles
time for Ken = x/4
time for Kara = (27-x)/7
When they meet, each would have paddles the same time, so
solve
x/4 = (27-x)/7
Kara paddles 27-x miles
time for Ken = x/4
time for Kara = (27-x)/7
When they meet, each would have paddles the same time, so
solve
x/4 = (27-x)/7
