After spending the afternoon studying together, your friend leaves to walk home. Three minutes after your friend leaves, you notice that their house key was left on the table. You decide to try to catch your friend before they reach their house. The values you enter in this part will be used to make later calculations. Choose reasonable rates for you and your friend. Recall that distance traveled is equal to the product of the rate of travel and the time:  d = rt. Use this formula to write expressions to show the distance you and your friend will have traveled. Let t represent the amount time in hours you will need in order to catch up to your friend. Remember that your friend left before you, so you will use 3 extra minutes, or  t + 0.05 hours,  to calculate their distance.   Your Friend what is the rate in mph; (t + 0.05) = Time (in hours);(          )(t + 0.05) = distance (in miles) Me what is my rate in mph; t = Time (in hours); (      )t = distance (in miles)

Question
After spending the afternoon studying together, your friend leaves to walk home. Three minutes after your friend leaves, you notice that their house key was left on the table. You decide to try to catch your friend before they reach their house.
The values you enter in this part will be used to make later calculations. Choose reasonable rates for you and your friend.
Recall that distance traveled is equal to the product of the rate of travel and the time: 
d = rt.
Use this formula to write expressions to show the distance you and your friend will have traveled. Let t represent the amount time in hours you will need in order to catch up to your friend. Remember that your friend left before you, so you will use 3 extra minutes, or 
t + 0.05 hours,
 to calculate their distance.
 
Your Friend what is the rate in mph; (t + 0.05) = Time (in hours);(          )(t + 0.05) = distance (in miles)
Me what is my rate in mph; t = Time (in hours); (      )t = distance (in miles)
t
