If Noelle travels 5mph faster then he must have traveled 5(miles)*8(hours) more. i.e.

40 miles
more than Vivian.

Total distance apart is 136 miles ( between Novelle and Vivian)

And it concludes that Noelle has travelled 40 miles more than Vivian.

Now, if they had traveled at same speed they should have been 136–40= 96 miles apart.

If you divide it by 2 then you will get the distance traveled by each of them had they
traveled at same speed which is 96/2=48 miles.

Distance traveled by Noelle is 40+48 which is 88 miles and distance traveled by Vivian is 48
miles.

Speed = distance/time

Noelle 88/8=11 miles per hour

Vivan 48/8= 6 miles per hour

Hence speed of Vivian is 6mph.
