Two athletes practice for a marathon by running back and forth on an 11-mile course. They start running simultaneously, one at a speed 2 mph faster than the other's speed.
How fast does each run if they meet 1 hour 6 minutes after starting? (The faster runner
is already returning at this point.) How far from the starting point do the runners meet?

im not sure what this means: mc011-7.jpg

step-by-step explanation:

8.75

how-to:

first, we need to find what we have to work with.

since i know that we have 7 (years) and 0.8 (inches), we can use these to solve and find the equation!

secondly, what you want to do, is see that we need to know how much growth out of the 0.8 inches he got in only 1 year, instead of 7 years.

let's try to divide.

7 ÷ 0.8 = 8.75
