Along with the other problems, i really need help on these 3 problems as well! i've been trying to solve them however i have no luck lol im hoping that you can help me solve them, thnx!
1) Timothy leaves home for Skedunk 400miles away. After 2 hrs, he has to reduce his speed by 20mph due to rain. if he takes 1 hour for lunch and gas, and reaches Skedunk 9 hours after he left home, what was his initial speed?
2. A highway patrolman spots a speedigcar. he clocks it at 70mph and takes after it 0.5miles behind. if the patrolman travels at an average rate of 90mph, how long before he overtakes the car?
4. A boat has a speed of 15mph in still water. it travels downstream from Greentown to Glenavon in 3/5 of an hour. it then goes back upstream from Glenavon to Cambria, which is 2 miles downstream from Greentown, in 8/5 of an hour. Find the rate of the current.
