Chuck and Dana agree to meet in Chicago for the weekend. Chuck travels 236 miles in the same time that Dana travels 224 miles. If Chucks rate of travel is 3 mph more than Danas, and they travel the same length of time, at what speed does Chuck travel?

Answer 1

Dana's speed --- x mph
Chuck's speed ---- x+3 mph

224/x = 236/(x+3)
236x = 224x + 672
12x = 672
x = 56

Dana --- 56 mph
Chuck -- 59 mph
