• Solution
• You could draw a travel graph
• You could complete the following table
  showing the distance travelled by each boy
• You could construct and solve an equation, t
  the time beyond 3pm at which they meet (NOTE
  this will be in a decimal form of hours). Then
• 102 18 t 12(t 1)
• They meet at 3.48pm 68.4 miles from Ismats
