Question

3 hours from the time his son leaves?

anonymous · Answer

his son leaves 30 minutes later so mr stone has already gone 15 miles, then in another 3 hours he will go $3\times 30=90$ miles for a total of 105 miles
his son now has 3 hours to go 105 miles so his rate has to be $\frac{105}{3}=35$
