Fun. It took Joelle 1/4 hour to get there. It took Andrea 1/2 hour and Kellan 3/4 hours.

Their distances are simply rate times time,

j = 35(1/4) = 35/4 = 8.75 miles

a = 3(1/2) = 1.5 miles

k = 14(3/4) = 21/2 = 10.5 miles

Answer: 10.5 miles

Next part. It took Kellan 12/15=4/5 hour to bike to Andrea.

Let's assume it's the same restaurant. They had to walk 1.5 miles, which they did at 2.5 mph, 1.5/2.5=3/5 hours.

So Keelan traveled for 4/5+3/5=7/5 hours, which is 1 hour, 24 minutes.

They got there 5 minutes early, 8:55, so Keelan left at 7:31 am

Answer: 7:31
