    Since Ellen drove a total of 80 miles, and for 2 hours.

    Her speed is = 80/2 = 40 miles/hour

    So Ellen drove for 40 miles/hour.

    Since Carin drove 5 miles per hour faster than Ellen, the he drove = (40 + 5) = 45 miles/hour.

    So Ellen drove 40 miles/hour and Carin drove 45 miles/hour
