    Guadalupe left the restaurant traveling 12 mph. Then, 3 hours later, Lauren left traveling the same direction at 24 mph. How long will Lauren travel before catching up with Guadalupe?

    Distance = Rate x Time

    Guadulupe will meet Lauren at the following distance:
    12t = 24(t - 3)
    12t = 24t - 72

    Typing that equation into our search engine, we get:
    t = 6
