Matching

Sarah, a logistics manager, is evaluating the delivery times for a company van. The van travels 120 miles on a highway and 200 miles through a city zone. Its speed in the city is 10 mph slower than its highway speed (rr). The city portion takes 2 hours longer than the highway portion. Sarah sets up the equation 120r+2=200r10\frac{120}{r} + 2 = \frac{200}{r - 10} to solve for rr. Match each mathematical expression from her setup to its real-world meaning.
