Maria left home and traveled toward the capital at an
average speed of 80 km/h. sometime later, Imani left
traveling in the opposite direction with an average
speed of 45 km/h. After Maria has traveled for six
hours they were 705 km apart. Find the number of
hours Imani traveled.
D = r x t
480 km 80kph 6hrs
225km 45kph t
(80)(6)+45t=705
480+45t=705
45t=705-480
45t=225
45
T=5hours
