Answer 1

V = 7.67 (aproximately) mph

1) Gathering the data

Before the storm

50 miles

3 hour drive

After the storm

68 miles

Speed: 9 mph - x

2) Let's find the speed of Nancy before the storm:

$\begin{gathered} V=\frac{d}{t} \\ V=\frac{50}{3} \\ V=16.67\text{ mph} \end{gathered}$

Since in the storm the Speed was 9 mph less than 16.67 mph we have:

16.67 -9 =7.67 mph

3) Hence, her speed driving at the storm was 7.67 mph
