Question

Paul and charlene are 420 miles apart. They start toward each other with paul driving 16 miles per hour faster than charlene. They meet in five hours. Find charlene's speed.

Answer 1

420 is divided by five hours. Giving them 84 miles per hour, the 84 is divided and they both get 42 miles, but Paul is going 16 more miles than Charlene so we take 16 away from her so now Paul goes 58 miles per hour and NOW, Charlene is going 26 miles per hour!
