Karen is moving at 81.2 miles per hour while Melinda is moving at 71.2 miles per hour.

<h3>Equation for speed</h3>

Speed is the ratio of total distance travelled to total time taken. It is given by:

Speed = distance / time

Let a represent Karen speed and b represent Melinda speed, hence:

a = b + 10

a - b = 10   (1)

Also:

a = d₁ / 1

d₁ = a

b = d₂/ 1 hour

d₂ = b

Since they are 108 miles apart, using Pythagoras:

108² = d₁² + d₂²

a² + b² = 11664

(b + 10)² + b² = 11664

b = 71.2 mph, a = 81.2 mph

Karen is moving at 81.2 miles per hour while Melinda is moving at 71.2 miles per hour.
