  10.8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr. Chandler has a head start of ...

  (4.5 h)(60 mi/h) = 270 mi

Mrs. Chandler is closing the gap at the rate of ...

  (85 mph) -(60 mph) = 25 mph

At that rate, she will close the 270 mile gap in ...

  (270 mi)/(25 mi/h) = 10.8 h

It will take Mrs. Chandler 10.8 hours to catch up.

After 15.3 hours, Mr. Chandler will have driven 918 miles.

After 10.8 hours, Mrs. Chandler will have driven 918 miles.

hey there!

if she's saving for six months, let's divide the total number we need for the trip by six, dividing it into the amount that needs to be saved for each month.

500 ÷ 6 =

she needs to save at least this amount each month, so we should use this symbol: ≥

let x be the amount she saves each month.

your final answer is x ≥

hope this !
