Answer:
A migrating elephant herd started moving at a rate of 6 miles per hour. One elephant stood still and was left behind. Then this stray elephant sensed danger and began running at a rate of 10 miles per hour to reach the herd. The stray caught up in 5 minutes.
How long (in hours) did the stray run to catch up? How far did it run?
Find the distance that the herd traveled while the stray ran to catch up. Then write an expression for the total distance the herd traveled. Let x represent the distance (in miles) that the herd traveled while the stray elephant stood still.
Use the distances you found in Exercises 18 and 19. Write and solve an equation to find how far the herd traveled while the stray stood still.
