Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok

Had to solve in the comment section because I couldn't find the answer button before. It Just appeared Lol.

You can still check the solution in the first guy's comment section

d=vt will represent the Motion of Both persons

for Karen

d=59t

for Ricardo

d=65t

They're both 279miles away from each other

Meaning

Dk + Dr = 279

59t + 65t = 279

124t=279

t=279/124

t= 2.25hrs.

You can change to seconds if thats how the answer waa presented.
