Asked by kelly
I'm having trouble with this word problem. Two friends Jodi and Abe go horseback riding on the same trail in the same direction. Jodi's horse travels at 5 miles per hour while Abes horse travels at a slower pace. After 2 hours they are 2 miles apart. Find Abes horse speed.

Jodi: 5 * 2 = 10 miles in 2 hours
Abe: 10 - 2 = 8 miles
8/2 = 4 mph
Abe: 10 - 2 = 8 miles
8/2 = 4 mph
