Question

anna and mackenzie are 162 miles apart, traveling towards each other. if mackenzie is traveling at 18 mph and Anna at 9mph how long u til they meet?

Answer 1

I used a guess and check method to solve this equation.

I multiplied 18 by 1,2,3,4,5,6

I multiplied 9 by 1,2,3,4,5,6

After that I added the two products together to find the answer.

I then figured out that at 6 hours they will meet up

6 hours.
