It would be 2/4. 2/4 simplifies to 1/2.
3 1/2= 3.5 inches and 4 2/3 feet is 56 inches. Now put 3.5/56=0.0625
I want to say about 27% but I am not completely sure
X - Linda's speed
(x+8 )- Colleen's speed
8x - Linda's distance for 8 h
8(x+8) = 8x+64 - Colleen's distance for 8 h
8x + 8x + 64 = 176 - distance between Colleen and Linda after 8 h
8x + 8x + 64 = 176
16x +64 = 176
16x = 176 - 64
16x = 112
x= 7 mph Linda's speed
x+8 = 7+8 = 15 mph Colleen's speed
