Grace and Hannah are both driving along the same highway in two different cars to a stadium in a distant city. At noon, Grace is 250 miles away from the stadium and Hannah is 306 miles away from the stadium. Grace is driving along the highway at a speed of 40 miles per hour and Hannah is driving at speed of 54 miles per hour. Let GG represent Grace's distance, in miles, away from the stadium tt hours after noon. Let HH represent Hannah's distance, in miles, away from the stadium tt hours after noon. Write an equation for each situation, in terms of t,t, and determine the number hours after noon, t,t, when Grace and Hannah are the same distance from the stadium.

The total number of hours afternoon when Grace and Hannah are the same distance from the stadium is 4 and this can be determined by forming the linear equations.

Given :

Grace is 250 miles away from the stadium and Hannah is 306 miles away from the stadium.
Grace is driving along the highway at a speed of 40 miles per hour and Hannah is driving at speed of 54 miles per hour.

The following steps can be used in order to determine the number of hours afternoon when Grace and Hannah are the same distance from the stadium:

Step 1 - According to the given data, 'G' represents Grace's distance, in miles, away from the stadium and 'H' represents Hannah's distance, in miles, away from the stadium.

Step 2 - The linear equation that represents Grace's distance from the stadium is:

[tex]G = 250-40t[/tex]

Step 3 - The linear equation that represents Hannah's distance from the stadium is:

[tex]H = 306 - 54t[/tex]

Step 4 - The value of 't' when Grace and Hannah are the same distance from the stadium is:

[tex]306-54t = 250-40t[/tex]

Step 5 - Simplify the above expression.

[tex]56=14t[/tex]

[tex]\rm t = 4\;hr[/tex]

So, the total number of hours afternoon when Grace and Hannah are the same distance from the stadium is 4.
