The speed of the Elvira is 6.545 miles per hour. Then the speed of the Altheia will be 0.545 miles per hour.
<h3>What is speed?</h3>
The distance covered by the particle or the body in an hour is called speed. It is a scalar quantity. It is the ratio of distance to time.
We know that the speed formula
Speed = Distance/Time
Let the speed of the Elvira be x. Then the speed of the Altheia will be (x - 6).
Let the distance between the coffee shop and Elvira's house be d.
Then the distance between the coffee shop and Altheia's house will be (3.6 - d).
Then we have
x = d / 0.5 ...1
(x - 6) = (3.6 - d) / 0.6 ...2
In solving the equations 1 and 2, we have
x = 6.545 and d = 3.2725 miles
Then the speed of the Elvira is 6.545 miles per hour. Then the speed of the Altheia will be 0.545 miles per hour.
